Go with your own heart!.

I'm sixteen, and I'm still in ballet!. It's an incredible way of expressing your feelings, and a way to gain flexibility, balance and strength that sports can't!. You're never too old for ballet, so don't let age be a barrier between what you want!. You don't want to pass up this opportunity that you might regret later!

something that i've always hated about my childhood is that my parents didnt force me into dance!. i just started about 2 years ago, and it's one of the best decisions ive ever made!. i love dance!. your dad's right if you love it, DO IT!. because it's a talent you'll use throughout your whole entire life, and if you stopped, you might feel empty!. as if something's missing!. dance is really good for so many reasons!. you'll be glad you didnt give that up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i am with my BFFL right now and we have both been doing ballet since we were 3! we met each other there! and have never been apart since!.
if you love ballet go for it girl cuz you probably won't regret it later because its really fun and you will probably just think of it as an activity you did as a kid! we are 13 and 14 and will keep doing it for a long time! we love it!! we hope you can make the right decisionWww@QuestionHome@Com

I have ALWAYSS wanted to be a dancer!. Since I'm like 13, I just kind of assumed it was too late!. I noticed that dace and gymnastic classes for beginners are VERY hard to find!. The older you get the harder it is to find anything related to performing arts actually!.!.!.!.

Well if you want to, go right ahead!. Listen to your dad, he knows what he's saying!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try different things!. You may love ballet today and hate it tomorrow!. Just be prepared to be flexible and don't invest too much in whatever pastime you choose until you know you want to stick with it!.

My parents are dancers so obviously I was expected to be one too!. Hated it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

have you checked out the health risks with ballet!? your feet go all funky!.!.!. also there can be great cost involved with lessons and outfits!.!.
maybe think about how your life would be without it!. why do you have to do it!. ask your mum why she thinks its not good for you to do ballet, and explain to her why you must do it!.

If you love ballet, do it!.
However if you're wanting to be a professional dancer, I have to tell you that it's REALLY hard!. Most dancers start out really young!.!.!. that doesn't mean that it's not possible, it just means that you're going to have to work really hard to get there!.
