A Ballet dancer should always be comfortable in their own skin and perform with whats natural, you should never feel embarrassed about the way you look especially if your a dancer

Well never fear, you can weigh whatever you want to weigh if you weigh 10kg or 300kg the only thing that matters is how comfortable you feel. HA who am I kidding if you weigh over 30kg you suck!
Well, if you are dancing at a Major ballet company (ie. American Ballet Theater) you can be paid at least $100,000 or much, much more a year...

This beautiful woman was a famous ballet dancer with the much acclaimed Ballet Russe, she was the first African American in a major ballet company.
It depends, you really work your whole body (I know this because I am a ballerina) but your legs are doing pretty much everything. Another place that should be very strong in a ballet dancer's body is the core (around the abs). The core helps the ballet dancer stand upright and strong.
Boys have a stereotype against ballet because they don't want to be seen as girly or feminine. Many people don't understand how much work it is to be a dancer. To be a dancer, you have to be strong and tough.
A Ballet dancer (one that dances for a company) doesn't earn very much. Approximately 33,000-44,000 per year only.
At the New York City Ballet, experienced ballet dancers earn $1,500 per week. Ballet dancers with star status can make $3,000 to $5,000 per performance working for major companies.
I would say that an important skill for a ballet dancer would be the ability to self-correct. The teacher doesn't have to tell you what you are doing wrong but rather you know where your body is placed and can fix things on your own. Also, a ballet dancer should have stage presence and not be afraid to try new things and make mistakes. If a new dancer has all of these things, the technique can and will come over time. It is easy to fix someone's technique but it is much harder to fix the things stated above. However, just because it's harder does not mean it is not possible.
