micollh:

btw, my gal is putting on weigh and is there something liek the ballerina must maintain certain weight range? when heavy, tip toe-ing become more painful..

There is no link, except usually people associate ballerinas = slim and sumo wrestlers = heavy weight :rotflmao:

My DD also putting on weight yet my MIL keeps feeding her with increasing full bowl of rice and worse, she loves to eat. Luckily at the moment, she is on the meaty side, not plump yet. But I have to constantly remind her not to finish all the food MIL gave her (cos my MIL is of the opinion if she finished the food, it means not enough and will keep increasing the quantity!). Yet I don't want to encourage her to waste food... :slapshead: dilemma...

if a girl has short hair, no need to bun up hair : ok ?
or still need to ?

* From RAD website*
Female students should have their hair neatly tied back and students in Grades 1 and up should have their hair in a bun. If hair is too short to be tied in a bun, it should be neatly groomed and styled off the face and neck so that the line of the head and neck is not obscured.

It is best to remain light weight especially when doing pointe, the toes need to hold the body weight...

Bleeding and bruises I heard is very common doing pointe![/quote]

If that is the case, their toes would look ugly..... anyway to prevent this? From which grade would they learn this? :scared:

Pointe shd be in grade6. My gal has also put on weight..I guess inevitable when she is now 11 years old. Her thigh and calf muscles are quite thick too. I kept reminding her not to eat fast food and chips..these are heavily laden with salt content, and make her bottom looks big!!

dd thigh n calf r thick too… sob but muscular… not soft soft type…
