Ella Titus is not your typical high school student. With dreams of becoming a professional ballerina, Ella shows us a glimpse of her atypical world: she lives alone, attends regular high school for roughly an hour and a half a day, and spends most of her time dancing.

mayumi is a child prodigy, for her age she is such a mature dancer in her technique. she's so good. I used to do ballet I totally relate to Ella not having the best technique and being a lyrical artistic dancer. I had never heard of this company before but they have TOTALLY gained my respect as company

Ella, You are unique and have qualities that are born in you and your looks don't hurt. I think you're dealing with questions, and doubts, what with this 2nd plan and the rest. What are 2 college classes about really? Nonsense. Make a personal commitment to ballet and don't look back, fighting for something you love comes only once in ballet. Committed to ballet is what you need take responsibility for your talent. BRAVO! And Good luck!

@arabellat5133 9 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is important to take confidence in her dance, but it's better to be safe than to be sorry. Ballet is not the highest paying job and she will most likely need a degree if she wants to get another job. Injuries and aging are inevitable. A Plan B is always needed. And you can never be too prepared. She's young so she can absorb the information from those two classes better than she will be able to later on.

Always have a backup plan. Even as a professional dancer, there is a limit. You reach your 40s and that's it. You just won't be able to dance like you used to. You won't get picked for roles. And then there is the possibility if an injury that can kill your baller career.

Kate Gerber It’s not a myth. I did ballet and finished my training at the Royal Ballet School at age 17. I never had a period until just before I turned 18. And I wasn’t extremely thin. The combination of keeping your weight low and the huge amount of hours of training, both contribute to a loss of period.
