1!. Trust me!.!.!.you will not be bored!. Beginning classes are designed for students who have never taken ballet before so you will learn a whole lot of new and basic steps!. Get those down really well so you can eventually learn more complicated steps!. And ballet is never boring if you are constantly practicing!. I've been dancing for 12 years!. You know why I never get bored!? I never get bored because even if I know a combonation completely by heart I add things to it like my own style or add steps to it to make it perfect which never ends!.!.!.so I can never be bored!. Ballet should be a search for perfection!.!.!.and since none of us can ever reach complete perfection!.!.!.!.we'll never get bored of it!.

2!. You don't have to have a certain body type to be a ballet dancer!. Most people get mixed up with this!. They look at the professional dancers who are super thin and in really great shape and think that is who they are suppose to be!. Well!.!.!.take a look around at thousands of the smaller ballet schools around the world!.!.!.most of their dancers are not exactly what you would call a ballet body type!.!.!.!.yet the majority are very good dancers!. Don't pay attention to the dancer sterotypes!.!.!.!.they only lead to dangerous situations!. Be yourself and be happy with how you look!. : ) Its not a problem at all!.

Wow!.!.!.I actually have so many tips I could give you for being a beginner!.!.!.if you'd like to know some more let me know at

If you have never taken ballet before, and you really want to be good, and you pay attention, you will not be bored!.

I dont have a "ballet body" either!. It doesnt matter!.

In a beginner ballet class, you will probably do sheney turns, leaps, pirouets, tondues, and do basic stretches!. Just have fun and you will be fine!. :PWww@QuestionHome@Com

okay well i been doing ballet for years and just for fun i do once a week a beginner class and i still sweat!! your body will still hurt and you wont be board and will learn a lot!. Its okay if you dont have a ballet body, i dont and i am one of the best in my class!. when a lot of other people have better body!. I hope i helped :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

hey!!! i'm 14 too and just started ballet!. my teacher placed me in a primary grade class, and it's really funny, to be with a group of people half of your size, but trust me, they're cute!.
you should go for it too, if you like it, if you have passion!.

1!. if you love ballet, you will never be bored, no matter in which class you're in!. your teacher will probably place you in a gade 2 or 3 class!. and you'll get to learn things!. i'm now doing primary and grade one, hoping to stop my primary as soon as possible!. i asked a questionj right before you about grade one ballet you can look at it if you like!. and you can also look at my profile because i've posted several questions regarding ballet before!.

2!. you never know!. yeah!. i always thought i don't have the dancer's body bcoz of my huge muscly thighs until i know ballet requires a lot of legs luscle!. and it's ok if you don't have those huge muscles too, because you develope them!. and i hated my sloping shoulders until i know that it doesn't amtter in ballet!. and i'm bow legged, but it's ok in ballet too!. not everyone is perfect for a dancer but we can always try our best!. i'm still trying to slim my thighs down tho, they look disgusting in the mirror!.

and actually, you might be thinking that youare not flexible enough, so you can go to YouTube!! search videos for stretching, you'll find tons of them!. and if you're worried and don't know wat to do, phone to the studio nearest to you and ask!.!.!. easy isn't it!? just Ask if you don't know!.

i'm very glad to be able to help you, if you need someone to talk to, please e-mail me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
