yes!!! it is very possible to make it with drive,passion and hard work. your age has nothing to do with it if you are passionate about something it , then the rest is up to you. practise makes perfect. its all about howmuch you really want this!!

it might take a bit more effort and hard work but if you love doing something you should just try to do it to ur best ability!
good luck!

umm, possibly. in addition to passion, drive, and hard work, you also need a considerable amount of talent. most pro/semi pro ballerinas are younger than you or about your age already, but if you really love the sport, go for it! i believe you can make it if you really try. good luck!

i am sure that you will!
i do ballet (although im younger than
early 20s) im sure you could make it!
if your good at what you do and enjoy it and all
then you will make it to be a prima-ballerina or semi,
whatever you want!
good luck!

Without skill you will not succeed - nothing can take it's place. Passion drive and hard work are also essential, but without the relevent degree of ability, they won't do the job.

If you're just starting classes now, there's a billion to one chance of you making it. If you've been dancing for a long time, then you still REALLY need to work at it and start auditioning for companies. I think tha age limit for summer intensive auditions is actually 18, so you may have missed the boat. Summer intensives are the first step into the professional dance world, and after that comes year-round school for about 2 yrs, an apprenticeship for about 2 yrs, then the corps (lowest level of professional), soloist, then principal. It takes a LONG time to even get into the corps, so you'd have to be incredibly dedicated.
