Question: How do i get better at ballet!?
I just started ballet and i had only my second class today!. I am 13!. But have taken ballet from age 4 to 7 then stopped and now i started again!. This is a class with no levels just age groups so im in with only 1 other beginner!. I am very flexible and pretty coordinated but when we do the petit allegro i just cant keep up!. also i cant keep up with some of the fast barre exercises!. What should i do to get better!?!? Any books or videos i can buy!? ANYTTHING I COULD POSSIBLY DO!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Congratulations on starting ballet again! Unfortunately, these things just come with experience!. The only thing you can do is practise!. I know how frustrating it is!. But when things are slow, you can copy!. When things are fast, it's impossible to copy!. You should research ballet as much as possible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

practice really hard(even at home) and take as many ballet classes as you can

you can even take a dance intensive or ballet intensive program in the summers!.!.!.

Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
