I'm a 19-year-old dancer named Xia. I've been dancing since I was five years old and have won several competitions with my troupe. My family owns a dance studio in Beijing where we train rigorously for hours every day.
People say I look younger than my age because of my small build, but that doesn't stop me from being proud of myself as a dancer. In fact, I've been told that I have one of the most beautiful bodies in our troupe due to my strict diet and exercise routine.

However, despite all the accolades, I sometimes feel lonely and isolated from my peers because we are constantly under pressure to perform perfectly every time. My mother always says that dance is not just about technique but also about expressing emotions through movement, which can be overwhelming at times. But I guess that's what makes it so beautiful – the combination of physical skill with emotional depth.
