Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I have a friend who had pretty severe scoliosis, and her doctor would have recommended that she get a brace except that she did ballet!. It keeps the muscles of your back strong to support your spine and prevent it from getting even more out of alignment than it otherwise would!.

Don't worry about what your costume looks like!. Chances are nobody will be able to tell from the audience!. A lot of people's shoulder blades stick out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There's no way that you can guess what your curve currently measures!. You don't say how old you are or how much growth you have left, but if you are still growing, you need to have a scoliosis specialist monitor your back every once in awhile!. How often depends on your specialist's opinion!.

If you're not already seeing a specialist, I would *never* see a doctor without a scoliosis specialty to treat my curve!. Without the extra training, a doctor doesn't have the expertise to treat scoliosis!.

If your curve has increased AND its in the right range AND you still have growth, you may be a brace candidate!. I don't know about the ins and outs of whether a brace is right for someone doing ballet!. That's also between you and your specialist!.

As for your ballet, go out, have fun, and don't worry about what others are not going to be looking for!. Because your curve is known to you doesn't mean that your audience also knows!.

You are going to have to deal and dance your heart out!. It isn't what your wearing it is how you dance!. I will tell you a very embarassing stroy: I was dancing when I was like 12 and we had to wear strapless bras and when I did my 3 leaps in a row it sliped downd to a skirt and then went on point and did the whole one foot at a time and it fell of and I was so embarassed!. When I was done every one told me I did great and your costume doesn't meant a thing!. My boyfriend was laughing to hard to say anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have to flaunt it, even if you dont know what you got!. The costume wont matter and nobody will notice if you get up there and dance the way you know how!Www@QuestionHome@Com

idk!.!.wear a padding on your back!? i had to do that for a tumbling move b/c i'm sorta skinny and my shoulders stick out b/c of that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

don't worry about the costume!. Enjoy yourself I am so no one will notice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
