Ballet class problem?

Question:i dont know which one i should do :
1. a ballet class with kids two ears younger ( more my level as i would be a beginner )
2. An intermideate ballet class with kids my age. ( it would be a bit hard to start at their level??!!)

The problem is i wouldnt be with anbody i know if i went with the younger kids but i would be morea round their level. I would be the biggest in the class and i would really stand out as i would be really bad and the oldest one there.

Definitely stick to the easier class. Ballet is all about technique and without it, you will never progress. Although it may feel awkward to be in a younger class, your abilities will strengthen. Even when I was a professional, it was sometimes nice to step into an easier class; that allowed me to focus on my technique rather than on my performance. Ballet is unique that way, you can make an easy class as difficult as YOU want, by pushing yourself to improve your weaknesses. Good Luck and don't worry.

Is there another school which has more varied classes?

I would stay with the kids who are at my level, and try to advance as the session goes on, so you can be with the kids your own age next session.

No sense biting off more than you can chew.

i had a similar dilemma. i chose the older class, and was certainly challenged for months. classes were at first, embarrassing. but in the end i made the right decision, learned a lot, and had a challenge!

well if u can do both than do that. b/c then ud be able to see ur age of dancers too as well as the younger class. the younger one will probably get u more prepared for the older one. i think its great that ur starting ballet! if u cant do both then i suggest the younger class b/c then ur learn it faster and the teacher will most likely help u more. just dont give up! here and there it mite be hard or confusing at the beginning but if u really luv ballet than ull put all that beside! i hope this helps
