I remember my teacher who went pro with les petits ballet, said that a pro ballerina should be between 5'4 and 5'8!.

So I think you're fine!

hahahaha no way! im 5' 9", 14 years old and im still doing ballet! ballet is different from gymnastics! you dont need to be small! taller ballerinas look so much better and graceful! Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm 5'7" in a half and I'm 13, so I understand the tall thing!. There are ballerinas that are tall!.[and they do look good]
