You are never too old to learn Ballet. I was a ballet dancer for 13 years. Yes it will help with your flexibility , But i suggest Yoga for that. An who told your toes are too stiff to be pointed once you get older .. LOL .. So NOT true.

Some football teams have used ballet to improve flexibility or you could learn yoga.

You can certainly learn ballet! Your feet will hurt (even kid's feet hurt) and you have to be careful of your knees but there is nothing to stop you!

If you want flexibility, I would recommend yoga. The ideal is to find a place that only does yoga and take a beginner's class there. You can try a health club but it will not be as good. Hope this helps!

of course it will beVERY HARD though

Anybody can learn ballet. Ballet makes you flexible. So, even if you aren't flexible, just stretching every day can help change that. If you have any questions about ballet email me, krobinson94@gmail.com

You absolutely are not too old to learn ballet. It would be a wonderful form of exercise for you and would definitely help your flexibility. Ballet is the foundation of all dance. Learn it and enjoy!

Yes, you definetly can!! Yes, ballet does increase flexablity. Remember to also practice at home after you take your ballet dance classes.
