Answer
Hi Aaliyah,

Too big, too small, too fat, too skinny, too this ot too that.

What does this all mean ?

Nothing actually !

What is important, in ballet and in LIFE actually, is the enjoyment you can get from performing something. You may or may not become a pro ballerina, that is not the question, follow your goals and do what you need to get to them !
