Question: What would you do if you were a teenager and interested in joining ballet!?
I don't want to be in a little kid class, but I am a beginner!. I know there are beginner classes, but those are also for teenagers who want to do ballet and not reach professional level!. I'm not saying I want to be a ballet instructor when I'm older, but I would like to reach the professional level!. I am in the 12-14 age range!. What should I do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

She didn't say she wanted to be a professional!. She said she wanted to reach a professional level!. I'd say take the more basic classes, and when the teacher sees you improving, they'll move you to a higher class that's more your age group!. Depending on what studio you're in, wherever you are, there might even be beginning ballet for teenagers!. I'm just starting ballet this year and I'll be 15! If you work really hard when you practice, you could most likely reach a professional level!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

well i think its great that you want to start ballet!. I started ballet when i was 14, so i know what its like to start at an older age!.!.!.than girls that have been doing it since they were 3!. Since you are older you are going to have to work harder!. also you will want to find a serious ballet school if you want to reach a professional level!. Usually!.!.but not always there is one or two schools in a city that just teach ballet!.!.those are the schools you want to look into, they will help you reach the level you want and your maximum potentional!. You may also want to take acouple classes a week, or maybe a private class!. Just try your hardest, put alot of dedication into your dancing!. The biggest thing is to go to a studio that is serious about ballet!.!.one that has good teachers!. Good luckk!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's never too late to try!. I'm a dancer myself and I started late too!. It doesn't really matter what age you're starting in!. Just join basic classes until you can improve enough to meet with your fellow age group!. Now, I'm not saying to join two and three year olds but you might have to start with kids a little younger than you are!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's hard to say whether or not you're too late to go professional!. In my opinion, I'd say so!.!.!.!.but that's just my first thought!. I've been surprised before at how quickly people progressed and who knows!? Maybe you'll be one of those people!.

But whether you make it professionally or not, go for it! Ballet is rewarding even if you're not looking into doing it professionally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It may be too late to begin in order to reach the professional level!. You may be able to find some classes for fun, but if you haven't had the training from an early age, then you don't have the balance or natural coordination that those who had begun at 5 do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try your local YMCA and start at the beginning, by learning the basics!. See if you really like it and if so, continue taking classes at a serious studio!. To be a professional you have to work hard and practice often!. Good luck!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
