adult ballet as a form of recreation and fitness is awesome. and, since ballet is pretty much the root of all dance forms, it will totally help with your hip hop. not so much for nailing the hip hop move, but for helping with strenght, agility and flexibility. you go for it !!

could be fun u should take it tah's no anything another world

You can start ballet at any age. It makes you more flexible, agile and fit. When I did ballet it was mostly stretching and practicing different techniques and styles.

It would be pointe you would have a hard time with starting so late.

Not to mention it helps you be more coordinated and balanced! All dance ties in with each other, so I'm sure this could help you along the way.

waiting till now to dance ballet was a wrong move. it takes time for the pros to get where they are. you will never be as good as some people. i sugjest just stiking with hip hop.

i dont mean to sound mean but it holds the whole class back when a beginer joins.

it takes 20 years of training for pros to get where they are. you will never be able to catch up on all that.

I would pay the admission to see this one.........!
Click Click thud...........Stretch scream pain agony torture!
And men do this crap also?

Now is a great time to start ballet. You will become more flexible and have better balance. You will become stronger and feel taller. Your posture will improve and you will carry yourself with great confidence.

It can't hurt to try...give it all you've got. Ballet is the foundation for a lot of other dance. Good Luck.

I say go for it, it is abit too late to become pro, like me I started late, but you can still become pro in your hip hop. Doing ballet will also help you with your hip hop too.
