  1. I am going to throw an odd ball, and a word for the flat chested, sorry, - apart from genetics, of course, in those who do sport or dance phisycal development tends to be strogly influenced by the intensity of traing (i.e. hours put in, amount of workload and difficulty level). You see that in athlets training from young age - there are tons of research on how elite (i e high intensity) training regime slows down physical development in girls: swimmers, gymnasts, all sorts high performers - their chests develop later, their periods come later etc. etc. I'm sure ballerinas in vocational training would come into this category as well. I have seen how this effects dancing and sport kids - many 10-11-12 year old girls, when injured, fall out of the gruelling training regime only for a few weeks, and all of a sudden start growing chests, bottoms or hips. Or come back from summer holidays and, whoa, they've holidayed into young ladies! Once back to intensive training, some slow down. Some don't. So, flat chested is not a fashion - it seems to me more a result of intensive training. Me thinks, ladies, never mind kids - if we'd put the same amout of time into dancing/fitness, as professional dancers do, we'd all be as flat as ironing boards (dream on!)
  2. Hi, Can anybody advise a supplier of reasonalby priced freestanding ballet barres please? We need one for home, 1.5m or 2.0m long, and the ones I've seen online so far are quite pricey. If somebody wants to get rid of theirs - we'll consider a used one within 50 mile radius of Birmingham. Many thanks x
