what do you think of when you think of a Ballet dancer?

What do you think of when you think of a teenage girl ballet dancer?

like what do they look like, and how do they act?

Update:

i was just wondering what people thought of ballet dancers. like stereotypes, i was just curious

Update 2:

i'm not saying ballet dancers look a certain way, i am a ballet dancer, so i don't stereotype ballet dancers. i was curious what other people thought

    I think of one of the seniors at my school who is really good but looks like she doesn't even have to try and that someday if I work hard enough I could be like her. And how she isn't just the up tight ballet girl all the time because once she's left the studio she's just normal. :)

    A strong athlete.

    -What do you think of when you think of a teenage girl ballet dancer?

    I would think it's good they are doing a sport and staying active- just like I would about any other teenager participating in a sport.

    -like what do they look like, and how do they act?

    Ballet dancers can look like anything really...and everyone has a different personality- what are you asking for? Stereotypes?

  • um I didn't know you had to look and act a certain way to be a ballet dancer? I'm a ballet dancer, and everyone in my class looks and acts different.

    I can't exactly think of a stereotypical dancer, because i've seen a whole range of different people... Somethings though that I have always noticed about dancers are that they all have strong legs and huge calves, they always have to miss out on social stuff because they have rehearsals, and that they like to walk on their toes or spin around a lot.

    i think of someone emotionally and physically strong.

    if you see a bunch of people walking down the street and one of them was a ballet dancer, you would EASILY be able to pick them out because the way they walk and move.

    you can always pick out the true ballet dancers anywhere. try it.

    Poised and strong lean legs is what comes to mind.
