Ballet Spirit 101

So my teacher says I have sickling issue.... It's gotten tremendously better but she thinks if I put something in my school shoe it will help because the way i stand or something......I was very confused on what she meant. So if you could help or give me other tips.....the problem is though my feet naturually sikle....like when im lying down...or not dancing.

I got into Many summer intensives this year. Yet I can't decide between Chicago Ballet or Joffery! I got into NYC,Las Angelos, and Georgia for Joffery! Please give me your opinion which one is better!

I just want to know what to expect.......

My doctor told me I'm going to have to take the summer off from ballet because of a serious hip injury. I'm going to be taking physical therapy, but when I start up dancing again in the fall, I don't want to be behind, or fall back, considering I was doing well before the injury. When I start back up, how should I go about becoming better again for auditions?

Does anyone know any good Ballet Books on Ballet, Ballet History, or Ballet dancers? If you do please tell me! Thanks!

I have lots of issues with turning out at the knees and ankles but I am really concerned about hurting myself. What can I do to improve my turnout in my hips without causing any long term damage?

I have a best friend who always get to dance ballet at school functions and other performances. I am also a ballet dancer but I never get any opportunities to dance. I've asked my friend once or twice if maybe I could dance with her once but she usually blows me off. I really want people to know that I'm a dancer and I want to be able to perform because I love it. What should I do?

A girl went up to me in pointe class, saying I should audition for ABT. I did my research and agree. Yet, I'm terrified. Since I'm 13 I can only do their summer intensive, but the age is 13- 17. The older girls will be totally better than me. I am one of the best dancers in my class. I just feel like everyone else, thinks I can't do it. So please help.
