Just pursue it, perform, perform in any possible play to get seen by as many people possible!.!.!. You also have to identify a style that you want!. A person, group, or company that really make you think "I want to do that"!. Find a way to practice with their technique (and i said practice, besides study)!. Practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way!. Make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy!. Being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like!. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish!. Welcome! Best of luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try to stretch everyday!. When your thirteen your usually not as flexible as 5 years old!. Watch classical ballets!. Look at there posture and how they move!. Don't try to be like the girls who have been dancing there whole life, you will just end up hurting yourself!. You will eventually get to that level just keep working at it!. :) also have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're just starting out, don't try to do too much too fast!. Listen to your teachers, work on your technique, don't clamor to go on pointe before you're ready!. Don't compare yourself to the other girls your age-- most have probably been dancing for 10+ years already!.
Enjoy, and good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

work on your flexibility often!. Focus on lengthening your muscles, pointing your toes and always turn out your legs!. Try and make yourself as tall as possible while your dancing!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
