[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]S/o would you send your “chubby” kid to ballet classes? Excuse the “chubby” word but she (like me) is not a naturally thin person. She is little but really wants to take ballet. I’m a bit worried it’s going to scar her for life. The other little girls in the class are rather thin. She does not care - just wants a tutu and to twirl. [/quote] Let your child go and twirl and have fun wearing a tutu. Let her enjoy ballet. Go check out a few schools in your area and find one you are comfortable with. Look for one with girls of different sizes but I doubt it will be an issue. You can probably stay for the class and hear what the teacher is saying and the other kids are saying. The body issues can be real but are more likely to occur at more serious schools then the Bella Ballerina franchised studio your child is likely to attend or when your child is far more advanced the twirling in a tutu.
