Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes, you did ask this question before and I tried to point you in the right direction by referring you to "Ballet Talk for Dancers." The reason why I did this is because, since the pursuit of a dance career must start very early in life, it falls on the parents to become VERY EDUCATED about the dance world. Yahoo Answers is not the place to do that.

Not only can you not judge the quality of the answers, but your own use of terminology shows that you have a lot to learn about the dance world. For example, you don't seem to realize that the grading system in one style of ballet is different from other styles, so emphasizing your daughter's grade level doesn't mean much. Also, emphasizing the attainment of "prima" status instead of just wondering whether your daughter can aim for a professional ballet career at all is like asking whether a kid who's into acting can get an Oscar for "Best Actress." Only the top 1% of all female ballet students make it into a professional ballet company at the corps level. It's even more of a long-shot to make it to the very top.

Joachin Murrieta also answered your previous question. Please listen to him. We are veteran dance parents who have been guiding our dance kids for a very long time and have been around the block in the dance world. If you'd check out "Ballet Talk for Dancers," you'd find a cyber community of 8,351 people who are very knowledgeable about the dance world, including many professional dancers, teachers, and us veteran parents. If you keep relying on Yahoo Answers to guide you in guiding your daughter, I can virtually GUARANTEE you that your daughter WON'T make it as a professional ballet dancer. Please trust me when I say that I understand that you are not a pushy mom and that you need lots of information. I'VE BEEN THERE!
