I eat about 1200 calories a day is that good? I have intense dancing for about 1.5 hours a day. I'm not trying to lose or gain weight, how is my calorie intake?

You daily in take should be 2,000 unless you are a bodybuilder in that case it should be upwards in 4,500+ but you don't so you should bump it up a snickers bar and you'll be fine

if you are not trying to lose or gain weight, then you need to keep the same calorie intake as you have now. If you increase, you will gain weight, and if you decrease, you will lose weight. However, 1200 seems a little on the low side, especially if you exercise so much everyday.

In general, 1200 calories are good, often recommended with diabetic diets. It is what you eat that adds up to 1200 calories. You do not want to consume "empty" calories, such as chocolates, excessive red meats, breads and other starches. A healthy diet is first and foremost. Since you are some what active, plenty of fruits and vegetable would be good. Maybe speak to you school nurse for recommendations on a well rounded diet.

It does seems very low for 1.5hrs of intense dancing. It all depends on your age,weight,height as to how many calories you need a day but i would think somewhere between 1500-2000 would be more like it.

for intense activity like you describe, that sounds like a fairly low intake of calories. I would suggest at least 1500 calories would be more appropriate.
