Hey. I'm 13. I've been dancing since I was 3. I think I can help. There's not one person in the whole world who can't become more flexible. First of all, you are not fat. Everyone sees themselves in a different point of view then everyone else does. The way I look at myself when I look down at my stomach, I see chubbyness, my friends envey me because I have such a skinny stomach and eat so much. If that's not the case, it's probably that you have baby fat. Ballet is really hard work. All the hard work pays off when you are so strong and you see those beautiful pointe shoes in your dance bag. Private lessons cost more. I suggest taking regular classes. It dosn't matter if people can see your stomach. You will work that stomach off just by doing one or two splits a day. To get more flexible, here's what you do:
* Lay on the floor. Lift your right leg 10 times. As high as you can, and as far back as it can go. Hold your ankle there and keep your leg straight or you won't get flexible. Do the same with your left leg.
* Do a bunch of splits.

Here's what you wear to ballet class:
* Leotard
* Tights
* Ballet slippers

Strenghten your feet, body, and legs- Sit on a chair and put marbles on the right side of you on the floor. Pick up the marbles with your toes. Do this until all of the marbles are on the left side. Then bring them back to the right side. Keep your back straight and your toes pointed.

start by mastering the basic barre routine:
plies
tendu
degage
rond de jambe (par terre et en l'air)
develope
fendu
grand battement

Then work on the 6 positions of feet, and the 8 main body positions (ecarte, efface, etc), usually done in adagio

Then you can do a petit allegro with changement, soutte, etc. followed by cross floor and centre. There you can do grand jete, soubre-sous, sissone, etc.
