Question
I am embarrased to ask my teacher or freinds. But should i shave? I am worried I might cut myslef!

Answer
This depends on so many factors, but all of them are a personal choice, and has nothing to do with ballet.

I assume that you are somewhat young if you are unexperienced with shaving... and this is something you should talk to your parents about. You are not required to shave to take ballet. It just depends on whether your want to or not, or if it is okay with your parents or not. It's not your teacher's or your friends' choice!

Expertise

I have knowledge of and access to information about ballet technique and style, professional companies, ballet history, general care of the body, questions about dance education and studios, and other general topics. I can especially offer advice to adult beginners. I will not answer any questions that would be better left to a medical professional.

Experience

I have not danced professionally, but I am a dedicated student of ballet and modern dance. I have taken classes in dance history, performed in amateur productions, attended professional performances, and read and watched many books and videos on the subject. I have also reviewed ballet performances for an online publication.
