A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore
ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Unfortunatly, puberty brings on body fat. For a dancer, and a very active one, it can come a little later. Your body is storing nutrients it thinks it needs to produce kids.
I understand how you can be extremely self concious, as I also dance, and nobody likes to be the pudgy one in the leotard. Also, there can also be alot of those naturaly skinny string beans running around.
But with some people, it's excersize, their diet, and their genetics. If you have a mother who has hips and a big butt, and your two older sisters have hips and big butts, for traditions sake, you're going to have the same thing. It gets passed down.
The best thing I can tell you, is to learn to love your body. Appreciate it for the beautiful dancer, the wonderful athletics, and for being a female. Hopefully you will have a friend around you who can teach you the same opinion about yourself.
Do all the people you admire have extremely thin bodies? Look at them when they are sitting around (if you are able to), everybody is human. Which means some (like me), do not have long slender throats and a complete absence of a double chin no matter what my weight is..... some people have large hips, and nearly everybody on the planet has belly fat.
Oh yes, and crunches, and ab work, will strengthen the muscles underneath your fat. Which can sculpt it and help you maintain posture so you don't have a pot belly (look at the nearest un-concious-of-her-body 6 year old), but it will not shrink any fat cells whatsoever. Side crunches aiming your waist muscles, can help hold any waist fat in place.

Do lots of sit ups. (abdominals) Takes about 15 minutes or less to do 50 of them in the morning and then another 50 at night. Keep this up and the belly will never come back whatever your age.
Also at 15 your body isn't settled yet so I wouldn't worry too much whatever you do..
