Dancers, whats your dance lifestyle?

I dance nonstop-- seriously, I think I have a disorder or something now!-- and I stretch so much, my brother makes fun of me for it. I am naturally thin and small, the only thing keeping me from looking anorexic is the muscles. I eat chocolate and normal stuff like that-- sometimes I over-indulge, but mostly I chow on healthy stuff not cuz im a health nut but cuz it tastes better. I do about 5 hours a week of dancing in classes, and next year I want to do about 8 hours (Lyrical, Modern, Ballet, Theater, and Jazz dance) (NOOOO HIP HOP. Its like 1 million "Uh-Oh Oreos" crammed into a package, you kidding me?) I am a clean person, and I love to read and hang with friends. I love to watch dancers, but if they are on pointe and my age or younger, I feel the need to tear thier throats out (horrible envy).

im only 14 but like when i wake up, ,i stretch or a bit, and i try to eat healthy but like i dont know ,, it doesnt always happen if you know what i mean :P i dance 5 days a week .. monday is a day off , tuesday = jazz class, tap class. wednesday = day off , thursday = ballet class , friday = modern class, ballet class, saturday = teaching little kids dance sunday = a company im in (its a performance group) its an all day thing . like 9 - 5 ish usually .

I stretch in the morning, get dressed, go to school, come home, do homework, read, have dinner, do chores, and dance for an hour or two. I have a tap/ballet combo. class on Tuesdays for an hour and a half, and a jazz class on Thursdays for an hour and a half. I usually don't have enough time to dance as much as I would like, but I always dance for at least an hour. I love dancing and couldn't go a day without it!

I used to dance all the time. Constant dance, whether I was in class or not. Then I quit dance because I did sports in high school. Now that I am in college though, I have started dancing again. Right now I am in a hip hop class, and I am also helping a dance company with one of their numbers. All in all, I probably dance about 4 or 5 hours a week. It isn't much, but I am happy to be dancing again. I would like to get more dance going in the future. My hip hop teacher/the dance company president is teaching modern dance through the university in the fall, so I would like to take that from her.

I pretty much have no life, i dance. But its ok because all my friends dance with me so it works haha. well i go to a performing arts high school so i dance for three hours each morning monday through friday (modern, ballet and pointe) and then i go to my academics in the afternoons. Then on Monday through thursday i dance at my studio (ballet, pointe and pas de deux) after school from 6-8:30 and on saturdays i dance 9-11:30. So that's an about 26 hours a week, not counting rehearsals when we have productions going on. Like now when we're preparing for Nutcracker, i go to the studio earlier and leave later and we have what we call marathon weekends where we're there from 4-9 friday, 10-9 saturday and 12-6 sunday. So obviously i take class, stretch and exercise daily. I watch what i eat but not obsessively. I dont starve myself or totally avoid junk food, i just eat smart and eat everything in moderation. Hope that helps =]

To begin: Monday- ballet 4:00-5:30 Tuesday- ballet 4:30-6:30 Thursday-ballet 4:30-6:00 (sometimes I can't make it) Saturday- ballet 9:00-3:00 Every day I practice any dance that I'm working on or just stretch and continue to strengthen myself. I'm the kind of person that really doesn't need to worry about my weight, but I try to eat healthy, all the same. Almost every fiber of my being goes into dance. It's exhausting sometimes, but it's so worth it.

i take 3 hours of dance a week (i wish it were more) but you know school takes up everything. i stretch every day and since i'm trying to get on pointe i do feet exercises too. i don't do diet stuff but i try to eat healthy.

monday - wake up, eat something small (healthy; normally something like special k chocolate. and/or fruit yum lol) do school. turn on the tv and stretch, eat a small-medium lunch and then do some ankle exersizes. tuesday - but class from 3:30-5 wednsday - at least an hour at home thursday - ballet/pointe class from 3:30 - 6 friday - at least a hour at home saturday - jazz class 12:30-1:30 sunday - at least 30 minutes to an hour at home lol my hours look really wimpy compared to others...i wish i could more but im on a "graduate in three years" program so yea it takes up time haha.

well, dancing 10 hours a week can be verfy stressfull . I eat only healthy things to help me with energy and nutrition. I stretch 20 minutes in the begginging of class If u have any more questions email me!
