Training as a ballerina (fat)?

How long have you been training and how intense? What training places have you already written and what exams have been made?

Did you have a physical fitness test?

Your figure can be problematic. If you want to get a place in the Choir de Ballet, it will be difficult if you get “from the picture”. It is not about being as thin as possible, but about presenting a harmonious image, the dancers should have a semi-discontinuously uniform figure and size. You are more limited with the possibilities of engagement. This also applies to dancers who are significantly smaller or larger than the average. However, there are theatres specializing in one or the other type. (At GDR times, very great talented girls have been sent to Leipzig, for example.) There will also be other niches.

At Pas de Deux, too high a weight can also cause problems, because your partner must be able to lift you.

A dancer who doesn’t fit into the choir de ballet or is capable of using Pas de Deux will not be engaged.

Apart from that, it doesn’t matter how your figure looks. In the USA there is a wonderful contemporary dancer and choreographer who has found her way, despite a more stable figure. But one must also say that these are rather exceptions.

But no matter what character you have:

If you do not pass the physical fitness test for classical dancers or do not bring the appropriate level of performance, you have no chance.

With 18 or 19 it is too late for training as a classic professional dancer. At 16/17, the girls are usually already stage-ready and finished. At 35, the career as a dancer is over on average. For some more and for some later.

Even if you had the perfect conditions, you would be 5-9 years late with the training, depending on your performance.

The question that you should ask is why a theater should hire you after your training with the beginning or middle of 20 if other younger dancers are to choose to bring the stage experience.

With 19 you can still make a training as a stage dancer at various private training facilities. Here, however, the focus is often on contemporary dance, jazz or goes towards theatre or musical. A ballet-based training is usually a prerequisite here, as well as a physical fitness. Access to training is easier (and unfortunately also more expensive) But you will not become a classic stage dancer.

Or you’re going to dance education. There’s nothing left to you with 19.
