i just started ballet a month ago and trust me youll be fine!!! im the oldest in my class but most of the other girls are around 13!. also at my best friends dance classs some girls are up to 17! trust me its ok, maybe visit a couple to see the class, im sure they wont mind!. its really fun once you get through all the basics :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

That will never happen!. They have classes for beginners that are older, so you don't need to worry about that!. Check with the studios around town and see which ones you like best!.

It doesn't matter if you are slim or not, a ballerina is a dancer because of the size of her love for it, not the size of her body!.

Oh, and if you think it is going to be easy!. Think again!. And it will probably be 3-4 years before you get your pointe shoes!.

And always remember, you get what you give!. Saying, the harder you work, the sooner you will get better, so be diligent!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

you should start now!! find a dance studio and ask if they have lessons for beginners your age!. if you make a big commitment to ballet and practice multiple times per week, you will move up levels!. don't expect to move up immediately, but you'll get there, don't give up!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am sure that someplace would have a class with older kids that are beginners!. Ask around and good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com
