Find out from your mom why she doesn't want you to take ballet.? Is it money?? If so, and you work and offer to pay for it, that should solve that problem.? Are your grades good?? Is it that she doesn't have time to drive you to and from ballet?? Try to find a carpool or ask a relative if they can help with the rides.? I can't imagine if you are willing to pay for it and you get good grades why your mom would not let you try ballet.? Doing something physical is absolutely necessary to maintain health and happiness.? Good luck, I hope you can convince her!

Well i love ballet too(i've been doing it for 13 yrs now,started at 5yrs old). Maybe you can show her that even while doing ballet you could still maintain a good grade in school(like you said you did a job right? then show her your responsible enough to handle both by being a good employee there). GOOD LUCK!!! i hope you get to convince your mom! Cause ballet has done a lot for me and im having a blast in doing it!:)

well, this is how i got to be in track, and the play, and band...all in the same year. here's what you do:

1. MOM! you're handicapping my future!!! what if i was destined to be a ballerina?? you're screwing with fate!!
2. it's proven that people who excersise are going to live longer than those who don't.
3. ballet teaches you disicpline, form, and technique. you'll build muscle and won't hurt yourself that much if you get into a spot where you'd hurt yourself.
4. you'll keep, or obtain, a really awesome figure.

do i need to keep going? or is this enough?

Try finding out how much it is or ask if you can try a lesson out.
you can also look on you tube or buy a book about it then learn one or two things and show your mum how good you are!(just dont do the thing when you stand on our toes,pointe)You could also tell her all of the things you get out of it like good posture ,elegance,manours and how pritty you will be

good luck i hope this helps

Ballet is amazing for building strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance. It will also help you gain understanding of how the body works, discipline, confidence, and the ability to take corrections positively and apply them quickly. Not to mention that is incredibly difficult but also rewarding and fun.
