Question: Are you sick of the "I've never done Ballet before but its my passion and I want to be a ballerina" questions!?
URRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH crazy people!. No you will not be a ballerina!.!.!.but we have to be nice don't we!?

I've been on Y!A for over a year and I still see this question!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I get tired of the girls who keep asking more than once!. I also am REALLY tired of the answers that are basically a version of "you can do anything if you want it badly enough and work hard"!.!.!.that just leads to false hope on the asker's part and does them NO favors!.

You can answer this type of question as I do which is truthfully, but without being really nasty about it!. Someone has to tell the truth after all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Apologies, but i think this question is utterly stupid!. Quite frankly, i think you sound like a selfish person who clearly cannot see that other people have feelings! How dare you say 'we have to be nice don't we!' All people want is some help and advice!. I've been happy to help people who have asked this question and to be perfectly honest your question aggravates me more than any other 'i want to be a ballerina' questions!. I am a true believer in the fact that with enough passion, talent and courage you can do anything, regardless of experience!. I was in exactly the same position as these people a year ago, but i still went for it!. Now, I'm on pointe with a solo to do at the London Palladium and have been urged by my ballet teacher to continue my passion for ballet as I'm good enough to get into a ballet school!. Clearly, your presumption that people who start ballet late will never become a dancer isn't entirely correct!. !.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't even try to answer them!. I answer the questions "do you know where I can take a class in Mumbwai, or Tokyo!? " I think you and others can deal with this better than I!. I would rather spend an hour finding a class or a video for someone, than to explain that dancing takes more than most people are willing to give!. Even if the individual is willing to do what it takes, it takes support from your family!. I had so many boy friends when I was young that liked the idea of having a girl friend who was a dancer but couldn't take what it takes!. It takes years and years of putting dance first!. On the other hand, there are those few who start late with a driving commitment and talent that make it!. You don't want to discourage them!. You do a good job of encouraging them!. If you are tired of this question, answer some of these: "Are there breakdancing classes in Cincinnati!?" [as far as I can tell the answer is no] or "Do you know if there are summer intensives in Melbourne!?' Take a break and just search for answers for people who do not understand how to use the computer, yet!. I am understanding of this idiocy, because I understood nothing of computers before joining Yahoo answers in January!. Now I'm getting fat and breathless! Time to start moving again!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't really mind, honestly!. I was that little girl once!. I didn't know what ballet was or what I wanted to do with it, but I worked hard and now I'm at the top of my department at a college that is accredited by the NASD!.

Everybody starts somewhere!. Sure, most of the people who want to be dancers won't become professionals (that's how just about every career is), but that doesn't mean an interest in dance is completely useless!. The arts are dying in America and many other countries!. We need people who love ballet in the audience and the studio as much as we need them on the stage!.

This is the Internet!. The longer you're on it, the more everything looks the same!. There have probably been several "are you sick of this question!? UUURRRGGGHH!!!!" posts as well!. Nothing's original!. Take it all in stride and move on!. You're not obligated to participate, so it doesn't have to bother you unless you want it to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ARGH! yes!!! How on earth can ballet be someone's passion if they've never tried it!? you might try it and completely hate it! just cos it looks pretty doesn't mean it's not hard!. besides, people that dream about ballet usually just want to be a prima ballerina, when as a general rule all the greatest dancers started when they were like 3!. And those "you can do anything you want" answers are just stupid!. no, you really can't!. if you wanna start ballet at 14 and be great, you'd have to take about 6 classes a week and be 150% devoted to it, which i bet most people that started late aren't!. I'd so glad someone else thinks it's stupid too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

omigosh yes!!! like it doesn't make any sense!. you haven't done ballet and you want to be a ballerina!? why!? i'm guessing because they have pretty costumes and pointe shoes!. lol idk its just annoying because so many people think that ballet isn't hard but if those people ever took a class then i bet they wouldn't want to be a ballerina anymore!! and also how can ballet be your passion if you haven't done ballet ever!? ~sigh~ i feel better now!. pretty much: it drives me insane too lol :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

OK, I have no clue what Ria's going on about, it's obvious you're a dancer!

I am so sick of those questions too! It's like "if you don't have it, you never will!" A lot of ballet dancers who've been dancing since they're like 3 don't make is as a professional, so what makes you think you will if you start at 17 or something!? Grr! We do have to be nice - morally uplifting and all that trash :P
I always tell people to go for it, but they'll be the ones falling on their as!.ses, not me!

Mac xWww@QuestionHome@Com

sick of them!. im always just like u wont b a professional like ever, but if its ur passion, u will have fun not being professional anyway and u should have started earlier!. lol if u read thru the answers 2 those qs they r really funny!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Gotta love'em!. Along with "Am I fat!?", "How can I teach myself pointe!?", "How can I learn Tango from the internet!?" topped with my absolute favorites "Why white people can't dance!?" and "Why male dancers are gay!?" But that's internet!.!.!. Some people don't know any better!.!.!. It's different people who are asking the same stupid question, or at least it's my hope!. I don't know why people ever ask this question!. If you wanna dance - dance, why ask for reassuarance from complete strangers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

These people are only asking for your advice - if they don't know anything about the industry they don't have any idea whether they can make it or not!.

If you don't want to answer their questions, don't read them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah, and also "If I keep throwing Up my food, could I be a celebrity" (That's a REAL question, if I find it, I'll send you a link to it!!)

Ria-Err, I think she knows that, she's a dancer, look at her Avatar dummy!!

LOLWww@QuestionHome@Com

You should just say what is on your mind and not think about what other people!. I mean, what you say will hurt someone somehow!. Just say what you think is right and that's ok!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
