Today, I finished a ballet class with a group of seven-and-unders. Afterwards, a new student's mother came up to me and thanked me, saying she was glad that her daughter had a "role model with a, ahem, fuller figure" and "not to worry about my weight." I have never thought I was fat before. FML

You know, from a ballet standpoint, a lot of the woman are sticks. Maybe you just have a curvy figure, and she's happy her daughter can look up to someone with curvy hips instead of a coat hanger.

If you don't think you're fat then don't worry.

That's ballet moms for you. What a b!+(#. I doubt you're "fat" if you do ballet because you have to be in shape to be able to pull those moves off. So many ballet dancers are insanely skinny and are forced to be in an emaciated condition. I am SO glad I dropped out of ballet when I was 4 or 5 or I would probably be a bony twig with a horrible self-image instead of the confident, curvy woman I ended up being :-) Don't let what she said get to you, I bet you're skinnier than me and I don't think I'm fat, so you're just fine!

I go to intense ballet school over the school year in a class with other 15 year olds. I'm one of the only girls there who actually has a slight bit of meat on my bones and a bit of a figure and isn't anorexic looking. I'm glad to say that it make me look a lot healthier and more confident next to them. Your definitely not "fat" cause you have to be in shape to do ballet, and I'm sure you have beautiful figure. If anything, feel bad for the little girl whose mom is going to keep her trimmed down to a twig! Don't feel bad for yourself though, and keep on doing what you love :)

i think wat the mom ment was most of the ballet teachers are like really inorexia and skiny but yu got some meat on your bones and thats the example a little girl needs so they wont starve them selves and to be a ballet teacher u have to be fit and in shape they wouldnt let like a fat or obese person teach girls ballet so i think yu have an average or skinny body caz the mom wouldnt like her daughter to have a rolemodel thats saying yu should be fat or a role model saying yu should be bones be proud of wat u got and anyways guys like their girls curvy lol not bony with no hips no ass and no boobs or people wich purg to make their self skinny or ppl wich starve themself thats disgusting like be proud and shake wat ur momma got!!!

Don't worry about it. I bet you're not. I'm a ballerina and I do not look like your typical dancer but that doesn't mean I don't have a healthy body weight. I'm sure you do too.

Ballerinas look anorexic and most likely are. The woman was being an asshole. She really needs to learn to keep her mouth shut
