[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ooh tough spot Mom. My mom made my sister quit ballet around that age. Her teacher was pushing professional classes and programs etc. I'm sure sis was PO'd at the time, but I think we would all agree it was the right decision. I will steer my dd away from ballet even earlier than that. It's not just the eating disorders- it's terrible for your body especially feet.[/quote] A close friend who works in orthopedic medicine sees a lot of athletes She once mentioned that ballerinas have pretty mangled feet and tend to be "head cases." I am sorry to say that as I love to watch ballet. But it does not seem to be healthy to stare at yourself in a mirror for hours at a time. I commend your daughter for her discipline and accomplishments though. It takes a lot of hard work and discipline to excel at ballet! Most girls seem to quit at a young age because it's not "fun."[/quote]
