Oh my goodness, yes of COURSE she can still be as good!
People are right in saying that she'll have to work hard, but anyone has to work hard in ballet, regardless of when they start!
And just to prove to you that she has a chance -- my dance instructor didn't start dancing until she was a freshman in college, then later went onto dance professionally as well as get her PhD in dance. So your sister has plenty of time to learn! :)
As far as "being good", it just depends on her personal discipline and how focused she is, and also how much she wants to dance ballet to have fun, and how much she wants to dance ballet to be "good". Tell her to stick with it, because she'll probably be frustrated that she's not as good as everyone else starting out....but it will get better!

only if she works REALLY hard. learning something when you're younger is better. when you get older it is harder to learn someting and become a genius with it

absolutely. my friend started ballet when she was 14 and she's 17 now, she's one of the best girls at our studio.
and yes, our studio is good. REALLY good.
just work insanely hard.

if she has natural talent and flexibiliy....yes..just know that most girls her age are either beginning pointe or well into pointe

definately. i took it up again after leaving dancing for four years last year when i was like 11 and a half. if she doesn't start now, it will be harder as she gets bigger and older. she has to be committed to it. i would suggest a jazz class too becuase they are fun and will help

good luck!

yes there is loads of chance. at the dance school i go to there is people starting ballet at 14 and they turn out all right. just tell her that she needs to work hard at it and then maybe one day she will be a pro.

she can totally do ballet ive seen ppl over 40 do ballet wats the big deal shes only 12 shes still a kid!
