Question: Do you think I should even try to get back into ballet!?
I'm 15 now, and the last time I took a ballet class, I was 4 or 5 (MAYBE 6) years old!. I'm considering getting back into it!. But I'm not really skinny like the ballet dancers I see, and I have wide feet, which I heard isn't good for going en pointe!. Plus I hear that a lot of ballet classes don't even accept kids over 12 years old!. What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You don't have to be super skinny or anything to take ballet UNLESS you want to get into it professionally!. I only took ballet for 2 years when I was 6!. But I started again last year and I'm not really 'ballet-fit'!. I have very large, wide feet, and I'm extremely tall!. But I've still managed to get into level 7 of the international dance exams!. It's never too late to do anything! Plus, your additional details say you just want support!. That basically means you've already decided, and you just want people to agree with you!. Well, most people probably won't agree with everything you do in life, you just have to proove them wrong! Go for it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i would go back in!.!.!.
i stoped dancing at 8 and started back this year at 15!.!.!.
and i have the same kind of feet and no its no great for point but you can get point shoes for your feet they can get wider ones that support your feet more!.!.!.
most dance classes go to 17 or 18 depends where you go thoughWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think that you should start back up because it will help you become skinnier like the other girls!. Not that you have to be and also most teachers understand that you might not be the best!. I think you should definitely join if you like it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should definitly start again, it doesn't matter about your weight unless you want to go perfessonal!. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something!. =]Www@QuestionHome@Com
