Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Haver there been any compilation of statistics of ballet dancers and longevity? They are so thin so they must never ingest cholesterol. Was watching SPARK, a program on channel 9. Feeling envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge incidence of eating disorders and bone/structural problems after the career is over. Too bad too. I love ballet and wish it wasn't only for the thinnest body types. I would love to see some professional dancers with builds more like the Highland Games, somehow. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
