Please read my FAQ before sending me a question.



I'm a college student and a dancer, and I'm working to lose weight, gain muscle, become more fit... and help others do the same!

My Ask Box is always open to questions, suggestions, or if you just need to talk. If you'd like something to be answered privately, just let me know in the message. (Note: anonymous questions cannot be answered privately.)

I track the "backonpointe" tag!

I know some of my readers are dancers, and I’d like to include more dance-focused posts, so what would you like advice/tips on in regards to dance? I’m hoping to write about improving turnout and increasing back strength for arabesques, possibly with photos or videos, but what else would you like to see?
