Vaganova Ballet Academy height/weight requirement
For those of you, who ever wondered about this… This document is from VBA website.
Top table is girls height/weigh requirement, the bottom one is boys.
The column on the left indicates the height (in cm), the column next to it indicates the corresponding weight (in kg).
Example:
The ideal weight for a 174cm (5.7ft) tall girl is 49.8kg (109.8lb) The ideal weight for a 168cm (5.5ft) tall girl is 45.7kg (100lb) The ideal weight for a 155cm (5ft) tall girl is 37kg (81.5lb)
Weight fluctuation allowed for girls over 170cm (5.5ft) tall: +/- 2kg (4.4lb) Weight fluctuation allowed for girls under 169cm (5.5ft) tall: +/- 1kg (2.2lb)
Girls who weigh over 50kg (110lb) will have very limited access to partnering classes, to protect the boys from potential injuries.
