Question: Is my sister too young to re-start ballet class!?
well, my "baby" sister (i refuse to stop calling her this! haha) is 14 right now!. from the age 3 to 5, she ballet danced and was nearly prodigious in it! sadly, we moved to an area where classes were not offered, and now that we are back in the city she has expressed a desire to start ballet again!. if not ballet, she dearly loves to dance and any class would do!.

anyhow, at her age is it okay to start again!? she is a very hard worker and would pick up very fast, and also has an okay build for it; she's 5 foot 7 and 118 pounds (and is willing to slim a little if necessary)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She's not too old at all!. There are classes for all ages and all levels!. And when you've got the talent, you've got the talent!. Your sister should definitely start her dancing up again if she wants to!.
also I would really hope she wouldn't slim down for ballet!. 118 lbs at 5'7 is nothing so I'd be really concerned if she was pressured into losing weight!. There's no reason she should have to lose weight and if the dance school makes her feel otherwise, then I'd say she should find somewhere else to dance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yeah, your never too old to start something! just, start out with an easy class, if not beginneer at little ahead of that!. Because, even if you are working with little kids for a while, if you really try hard, your/her teacher will notice and move her up! Tell her i say good luck and have lots of fun

No she is not too old for it, people can dance at any age!.

If she wants to go pro, she is starting out late though!.

Absolutely not! I started ballet when I was thirteen years old and have been told that I could go on to be a professional!. It just takes a lot of hard work!Www@QuestionHome@Com

of course not!! she should start and take whatever classes she wants!. she'll do fine!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I started dance at age 6 and kept dancing until age 8 then we moved and no more dance until I was 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love dance sooooooo much so I took some class and I'm still dancing now but I was very upset to see how far behind I was compared to everyone else and the teachers wouldn't take the time to help me!!!! Which is sooooo annoying! But now I'm going to go to a different dance school and I hope the teachers will help me a little more!. The class at this school are much small which I know should help with the one on one time!.
Hope I helped! DaniWww@QuestionHome@Com
