sounds like she had an attitude problem- while we all seem to agree she is'nt fat, or anywhere close, there are "industry standards" on weight in ballet- considering that the dance itself can fuck up the body, maybe 105 is a bit much- me, I feel the whole thing is fucked up- had a teacher in elementary who danced for about 15 years at the professional level before she became a teacher, quit because it damaged her feet something fierce- the motions in ballet are painfull, and can severly damage the feet and ankles even if done perfectly- simply put, it is never something that I would force a child into, while I can appreciate it as an art form, its one of those things that i think asks a bit more of the body of the practitioner than is reasonable- sure football players get injured, so do most "physical " people, but come on, when your toes bleed for hours.........
