Hi guys! I'm new here!
I really hope you can hear me out for a minute.
I'm a ballerina from Indonesia. I go to an IB international school in Indonesia and I have to write 4000 word essay about Biology. I chose Ballet as my subject for my essay because I know it has something to do with Biology.
My essay title is, "The Effect of Nutrition Balance Towards Ballet Dancers"
and I have come up with a research question and that is:
How can nutrition affect the weight and injuries frequencies of ballet dancers?
I would be very happy if you guys read and answer these questions carefully because this is really important to me. My essay will be sent to the IB which is in Cardiff. I need to know all the ballerinas in all over the world and how they are doing. I'm definitely looking forward on how this essay is going to turn out in the end. It will only take you about 5 minutes to answer all these questions below
P.S Mind the boxes below! Thank you!
