fat dancers make me furious ~long time lurker, first time poster~ Backstory: I'm a 19 year old female hailing from melbourne, australia. I started ballet classes when I was 3 and since then it has been my life. I am now training for ballet professionally at a leading melbourne dance college (full time, 30 hours a week!) and hope to join a company in the next year or so. What people don't realise is there are so many eatbeasts training to be "profeshenal" dancers. To the point where size 14/16 is the normal and I get anorexic comments as I wear a size 6 (australian).  It just makes me so angry because I work my ass off every single day to achieve a perfect ballerina body. I love chocolate pretty much more than any other food ever but I realised that my constant snacking was making me pile on the pounds, so I STOPPED. It is literally as easy as that: stop eating shit, go to the gym, work your ass off. And yet my training is compromised because there are fat lazy fucks that have been let into my classes because '*we can't discriminate against body types.' * My professional classes are literally dumbed down so that hams can participate and become professional dancers. Ballerinas have always been the height of the human form so I hate to think what the ballet world will look like in the future.  Its so nice to find a community of people who feel how I feel and want to support the improvement of the human race. I am honestly feeling so discouraged right now about my future.  a stock photo of the size of girls in my classes & a photo of an actual ballerina sized ballerina ps- if you want fat dancer stories let me know!
