"It can be. It just gets stressful at a certain point." She smiled. "I mean, it's the reason I quit. It wasn't really that I didn't like it or wasn't good at it. It was a lack of dedication on my part. The further along you go the more and more time that gets taken up by it. And I really didn't want to do it all my life anyway."
And it got so stressful and not fun at that point too. "Besides, there's certain specific physical traits people like in ballerinas. I ended up about three inches too tall and not quite as willowy as they want for a dancer who spends a lot of time getting lifted over other dancers heads." And she'd heard of some horrifying things about some girls attempting to make themselves fit that description.
She shook her head. "But it's fun." She said smiling. "And relaxing and a good work out."
