But you need the strength to get up on the toes in the first place, and without any body fat to lose you start losing muscle mass. So defeats the purpose.

And she was 8, man. Seriously?

I agree that 8 is too young to be applying that kind of pressure, but pressure to lose weight in ballet is a real thing. A friend of mine was training for years to get into professional ballet (she eventually quit though...) and she's skinny as fuck, but she says all the girls get shit about their weight, and sometimes they're flat out like "lose ten pounds or you're getting dropped." And girls do get dropped for having a certain body type. Being light is an asset for getting lifted, and also it's just part of the aesthetics of ballet, and ballet is all about aesthetics.

And ballet teachers are assholes by tradition anyway, if you have a serious teacher. It comes with the intensely competitive environment.
