ok, so I am rediculously attracted to ballerinas. I think it started as a kid with "Cats", and as I grew and couldnt find any more grown women dressed as cats, my interest strayed to ballet. I dream of having my very own one day, who I can feed grapes and fan with palm leaves. Anyone else have this problem?

Re: so damn hot
Tue, June 15, 2004 - 10:03 PMI had luck to meet several of them.
One thing they had in common (besides having almost 0% body fat) was they all had problems finding guys to date.

Mon, June 21, 2004 - 12:46 AMIf you want to meet ballet dancers, you need to go where they hang out. Take some classes. -

Tue, June 22, 2004 - 12:57 PMbut...isnt that kinda like learning to drive without being allowed to use the gas and brake pedals???

Tue, June 22, 2004 - 2:57 PMBH...don't take ballet.
you'll hurt yourself....no good.
just give it up to fate...if a ballerina is in your future, then you will have her. if not, then you wont. taking a ballet class and grinding your knee cartilage wont help any.
really....it will hurt. really hurt.
btw...grande plie is NOT good for the knees. -

Re: so damn hot
Wed, June 23, 2004 - 7:14 AMTHAT'S what i thought.....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take it easy on those knees, or you'll be saying i just love my easy chiar, while healing from surgery!
That type of tear is painful, but very common. Did it actually tear through? did you get surgery already? HAve you done a series of physical therapy???
the therapy is the most important factor to healing from a tear or close to it, like that one.
Good luck BH man.....take care of your knees!!!!! -

Re: so damn hot
Wed, August 18, 2004 - 12:31 PMI agree about the knees...one bothers me frequently, it's actually chronic inflammation as the result of a mountaineering accident. Dance aggravates it, especially when I do a lot of jumping. But I've learned to limit my sautes, sissones, etc. I already know how to do them so I only do them in rehearsal. Since I also do Middle Eastern Dance, I don't do Turkish drops anymore, as they are brutal even on healthy knees (like grand plies in 5th).
Also, women in dance class can spot a guy who is only there to meet girls real fast. I've seen them come, and they usually go after a class or two when they realize there are easier ways to talk to girls. Of course, if you become a serious or professional dancer, then they will just assume you are gay. You can't win. Next best strategy: become a lighting designer! -
