I started ballet this year at 16 and my instructor told me if I try hard enough I can get on pointe shoes next year and I’m so excited ( I take classes 4 times a week)
Not sure if the question was meant for me but I do have experience in other dance forms. I danced hula for over 9 years and jazz and hip-hop for 2 years more recently. But like I said in my video most of my childhood was dedicated to Tae Kwon Do. Hope you enjoy ballet once you get started!
That’s my dream! I’m 16 and after this pandemic I finally talked with my mom and we’re enrolling in beginner teen ballet and I long to jump in pointe shoes
i did ballet when i was younger and now i miss it so much and i’m terrified that if i start again i will be with the 5 year olds so my plan is to learn the basics and become semi good at home and then start going to classes.
I really love ballet but sadly in my country we dont have any competition in ballet bc im live in muslim country so there isnt a near ballet class but im gonna go just for fun
I hope you enjoy it and I'm glad you're finding a way to pursue something you're interested in. There are some nice ballet videos on youtube with barre exercise and technique if you're willing to look for it.
I’m 19 right now too I did ballet at 6-8 but I regret quitting but it got expensive of my parents I wish I never quit I wanna start again Who has any advice I just love classical music
I started taking classes at my college because it was cheaper than a studio for the amount of time and everyone in the class was just starting ballet as well. If price is a really big concern start off with youtube tutorials since it's free and see if you really want to stick with it long term. If anyone else has any recommendations feel free to add on! Hope something works out for you soon!
GIRL PLEASE CONTINUE. YOU ARE INSPIRING ME. I STARTED BALLET WYEN I WAS 13 N LIKE I FINALLY FOUND A PERSON I CAN RELATE WITH. DUUUUUUUUDE YESS PLEASE CONTINUE PLEASEEE. Also I'm so proud of you! You are confident and so strong and beautiful! Keep it up!
I used to dance, but I gave up at 15 and wanted to start at square one again. Thanks for giving me the confidence to start again, I thought I was too old to do what I love again. Thanks, I hope you have an amazing ballet future.❤️👯♀️
I remember watching this video a while back, I'm needing some motivation or some type of sign telling me to keep doing dance and just watching you so happy makes me so freaking glad and it reminds me of the joy and passion I have for dance though I'm not the best or have the best resources I'm happy I found this video! You're doing great girlie!
If you haven't received your sign yet, here it is! Circumstances in life can make our passions dwindle but that's just the way life is sometimes. I'm glad my video could help you in anyway. Good luck and do what makes you happy.
I just took my first dance classes at 17 in highschool. I really want to do ballet and this video was good motivation! You looked great during your performance. Keep up the good work and positive vibes,loved it!
I did ballet when I was three and then my instructor got pregnant and we didn’t like the new one so we quit. And now after seeing my little cousin perform I got SUPER interested and want to start contemporary at 13
Contemporary is so fun! I just started contemporary/modern dance this year and I absolutely love the freedom of it. Hope you get started again if you want to! Good luck :)
there are a lot of helpful videos on youtube to help you get flexible. I stretch every day even if I'm not exercising. should I make a stretching routine video for beginners?
What do you think about a person who love dance and participated in many competition but left dancing for 6 years and at the age of 18 wanted to do dance without any dance class but having problems in doing it . Then can I doo please tell me if anyone of you know ??
is there a reason you don't want to go to dance class? Dance wouldn't be half as fun without the friends I made in class. They really encourage me to keep going and practicing. Also being in a space where you can go "full out" is really helpful and beneficial to your technique and confidence. You should be fine getting back into dance but you'll be rusty and classes would really help with speeding up the polishing process. Entirely up to you though! Hope all is well.
hello! I’m 14 and starting this summer. I’ve been doing dance for three years, but not at a professional studio, but at an arts school. I plan to do ballet, lyrical, and hip hop this summer. Is it too late to be good at ballet?
It all depends on how much work you put into it but I think you got this! Just have fun with it and don't forget to practice or at least stretch daily!
I started at home and I'm 17. I went to do ballet classes at 6 but I was to slow so I had to quit! But I'm so glad I'm deciding to do it again!! But the weirdest thing is that when I was watching ballet. And how they were doing it all, then literally my passe were pretty good , I was shocked
For all of you interested in starting again but don't want to go to class with children, look into adult classes ! There are about 4 where I live, so there are bound to be other adult centred studios out there :)
There are a few where I am so they seem common! For teens who aren't quite "adult age" some of the adult classes combine teens with the adult classes or have separate teen classes as well.
Hello! I'm so glad people are making videos about this! I started my first class at 17 (2 months before my 18th birthday) with my sister. We were in ballet at like age 4, then our mom pulled us out in about 6 or 7 months in. Now, I paid for my own lessons, and I loved it! I had to stop due to Corona though, so pretty sad. But now I'm 18 turning 19 in college, and I'm trying to dance in my dorm room, lol XD
Yay! I'm so glad you got back into ballet and love it! Dancing in your dorm room is going to be a disaster lol! I have to dance in my kitchen and it's the worst. No room for extensions and I'm always having to turn awkwardly so I don't bump my foot. Good luck and I hope you can find spaces to practice!
Yay! You started ballet! I think your doing so well! I'm only I've started ballet when I was 3 and I'm 9 now uh I'm young... Ehhh.. I never think ur to old to do ballet my friend mum started ballet at the age of 30 lol isok, I'm in grade 3 now 😉
Dream was to be a ballerina at like 4. Ive decided its time to actually try ballet and now i literally begged my mom so im starting off with online ballet lessons soon but im stretching first. So i hope it goes welll
@@TaiBug Omg tysm! Im currently 11 bc turns out i wanted to be one but literally said no at 5 6 and 7 years old so now im here at 11 practicing ballet!
i’m 15 and i really am interested in taking ballet this year🥺 i’m embarrassed that i’ll be grouped with 5-7 year olds but for the passion that’s burning inside me, i’ll ignore it😌 do you think it’s possible for me to get onto pointe in about 1-2 years of ballet?
Anything is possible! I haven’t looked at getting onto pointe yet so I’m not sure about the requirements but if you work hard at the basics and technique I’m sure you can get on pointe soon.
I said I wanted to do ballet this year but because I lost my job from covid I wasn’t able to. I really wanna do ballet next year though!!!! I’ll be 20 but I wanna lose weight before I do it!! I’m gonna work on stretches to gain flexibility in preparation!!
I’m sorry it didn’t work out this year but I have hope that next year will be better! It’s a great idea to work on your flexibility before hand so going into ballet will be easier! Good luck and best wishes! Stay safe.
Of course you can! Many of the students in the beginner class that I took had zero dance experience but by the end of the semester they were really good! I would love to see some of your artwork if you're willing to share! DM any of my social medias. I hope you consider starting ballet soon! Good luck!
Congratsss!! I’m 11 but I’m still waiting I have pretty strong feet but I still havnt gotten permission to go en pointe I want to start doing some exercises for my feet like all the time so I can get there
I started ballet at 21. By 22 I was on pointe. And by 24 could dance center on pointe, Fuettes . I was also 20 lbs overweight. Then I got in a toxic situation, lost my job and $. I continued to dance at home but eventually life forced me away. I then began hoop dance at 27 and preformed for 3 years. I'm 37 now. My mother died at 29 and I spiraled out. I now have a brain injury and for a year have been mostly bed ridden. I'm slowly getting back now tho and had lost 50 lbs at age 24. I have a lot if muscle atrophy now. But I have picked my point shoes back up and to my surprise could still to barre work. And standing in second . I have a lot of core work to do which the hoop dancing I picked back up is all core muscle work. Had I not hit the wall I did at 24. I'd have gone forward with ballet and though I prolly would never have the proper turn out to be a pro classical. .. modern dance and modern ballet were def. In the future. Yes I had been a jazz / tap dancer from 10-14 yrs old . I can still tap and took tap and jazz through out my ballet. Practicing on pointe in my jazz shoes helped strengthen my feet a lot to prepare for pointe . So... even if you are older than 19.. with the proper dedication and teacher and determination. . You very much can even dance on pointe still. Even at 22 my technique skill was far beyond the performance in this video. I danced 6 hours 6 days a week for years. Sometimes more. And then when at home I still practiced. There is hope. It isnt just something you have to begin young.
WOW! What a story. You are so incredibly strong and inspiring. I don't know what hoop dancing it but it sounds interesting! The only hoop dancing I know is Native American hoop dancing which is so incredible. I would have to say core strength is the most important in ballet so definitely work on that so you don't accidentally injure yourself. You've done so many different forms of dance I don't think you'll have any problems getting back into it! Make sure to take care of yourself and keep me update on your journey! I'm invested. Thank you for sharing with me and my viewers.
No worries! In my class no one could do the splits until a few months in. Everyone is at different points in their flexibility so try not to compare yourself to others and just monitor your own journey.
I started ballet when I was 13 but the following year I got really hurt where I couldn’t walk correctly for over a year and my spine still clicks and my knee caps don’t bend properly lol but I plan to go back this year, even if I’ll be 18 soon :)
I'm sorry to hear about your injury but I'm gad you've recovered enough to consider going back to dance. I understand how hard it is to deal with injuries so I'm sending you good wishes! Take it easy and listen to your body. Good luck!
Dancing pointe is crazy hard. It requires a ton of strength and discipline. I personally haven't danced pointe yet because frankly, I'm just not technically and physically ready to as a ballet dancer. That being said, it's not impossible! It takes a lot of training but I don't doubt that you can do it. Good luck!
I've always wanted to be a ballet dancer but my parents never let me since its not "manly" enough I guess. Im 17 and I just finished my third class yesterday :) its so fun but im sad its too late to ever go professional.
I'm glad you finally got to get started with ballet! I'm sorry you had some trouble in the beginning. I'm not sure how hard it is to become professional with a company but if you feel like that route is unachievable you can also become a professional in another sense! Dancers on social media are really successful and they are still professional! Keep working hard and whatever you want to do with your dance journey will become achievable!
I'm18 and i really wanted to learn ballet but unfortunately it's hard to find ballet centers here in our city in the Philippines and when i saw some it's very expensive hahah but still i love watching videos on youtube for beginners 😍
I felt the same way but when I joined the class at my community college more than half of the people had never danced in any style before. So, it's never too late to get started with something you're passionate about! I hope you get around to trying ballet soon!
I did ballet from when I was about 6 until I just turned 11 and I got scared for a show because I didn’t know the dance fully my dad said you can either do the show or never do ballet or tap again (I did tap aswell) i chose not to do it again because I was too scared for people to laugh and get embarrassed I am now 14 and since I was 13 I’ve really been wanting to get back into ballet but I think it’s too late because I’m too old I’m also scared what my family will think if I join ballet again I’m 5ft 3” and I weight about 9st 2 pounds. What should I do ?
You can do it! I fully support you and I hope you're able to start up again! I have moments where I forget my dances as well and it can get really nerve racking. Find a good studio or class where you feel supported and welcome and you shouldn't have a problem! You don't even have to perform with you don't want to! It's fine if you just want to learn for yourself. So you do you and I hope you have fun!
I’m 15 and really wanna start ballet but I don’t have the courage to ask my parents because I know how expensive it can get and I don’t wanna seem like a burden to my family
I totally understand this. Leotards and ballet slippers are expensive and I was really lucky that I fit some hand-me-downs. A great way to get started for free is through youtube! Because of the world situation a lot of people have started posting classes and routines online so there are a lot more options than before. When you get older you can try some classes at community college because the prices are cheaper and you'll get college credits for it as well. If your family sees how dedicated and passionate you are about it I'm sure they'll look into what options are viable for their situation. Be hopeful and I'm rooting for you! Good luck and feel free to DM me if you want to talk more!
So I’m 14 and We’re to poor to afford ballet classes but I’ve learned through millions of videos since I was little and my dream is to become a professional ballerina but can I if I’m gonna start soon?:(
I don't know how difficult it is to do ballet professionally but as long as you are passionate and work hard I believe anything is possible! Getting hooked up with a studio will help you with auditions to join companies but it's still possible to audition on your own! Good luck and best wishes.
I used to do ballet when I was little but stopped. Might start again this year but if I start in a beginners class will the kids be my age?😂 Also lovely video 💚
I'm glad you want to get started again! Try looking for teen/adult classes if you want to be sure there will be people your age (assuming you're in that age range).
I used Capezio canvas ballet shoes. They also come in leather. If Capezio is too expensive they have a whole bunch of options on Discount Dance and Amazon!
I have a question, how does the classes per week work? Like if I do multiple dance styles is it like I do one of them a week and then do the other style the other week? Or do I do both styles one a week? I don’t know how to word it but that’s what’s really confusing me
When I did multiple dance styles in the same semester I had ballet on Mondays and Wednesdays and modern on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I had dance four days a week. I had the same teacher for both so that made it better! Hope that answers your question.
I'm 18 I want to start but in my country there's no dance classes & they say girls for kitchen but I really want to be ballerina! Any beginners video?? + Mom said if u do split u will lose your virginity since u r 18 is that true???
So I started ballet a little over a year ago at a low key studio and fell in love with it and want to go to a more serious and advanced studio but I’m not sure if I can because everyone at that studio my age is already en pointe. Any advice?
That makes perfect sense. I don't have the greatest strength/control in my arms so it's definitely an area I have been focusing on. Thanks for the tip!
Not at all! I don't think you can ever be too old to try something new. As long as you have the passion and commitment to do it you can do anything. It may be a bit harder for you if you've never done any type of dance before but it doesn't mean you can't do it. You may just have to work harder. Let me know how it goes! I'm rooting for you!
i started ballet at age 12 and got my point shoes at 14, which is still pretty late but do not give up i have panic attacks all the time if i’m not good enough or i’m too old but no matter what all that matters is the love for dance, it is never to late to start to do what you love.
You should definitely start!! If you work at your flexibility everyday you’ll steadily improve. Your flexibility will also improve as you learn ballet so you can start at anytime. Starting with flexibility will be easier but you can still do it without any! Good luck and best wishes! Follow your dreams.
Yes!! I’d recommend getting started at community college/college cause you can get credits and you’ll also meet people from any studios nearby. Then when ur ready to go to a studio you’ll already have friends!
I'm not quite sure what you mean? Do you mean breaks between semesters? If so I feel the same way! Practicing on your own is great but it's just not the same.
Oh... get a really good sports bra and pair it with a supportive leotard. Some leotards have built in bras so just double up! I don’t know if in traditional studios they have restrictions since they have dress codes so call ahead a make sure! Otherwise I think you should be fine.
I started ballet this year at 16 and my instructor told me if I try hard enough I can get on pointe shoes next year and I’m so excited ( I take classes 4 times a week)
I am so excited for you! I wish I could find somewhere where I could take classes that often!
Oh my goodness😱, NEXT YEAR ⁉
I'm 15 and I'm starting ballet soon, do you have any experience in anything else ???
Not sure if the question was meant for me but I do have experience in other dance forms. I danced hula for over 9 years and jazz and hip-hop for 2 years more recently. But like I said in my video most of my childhood was dedicated to Tae Kwon Do. Hope you enjoy ballet once you get started!
That’s my dream! I’m 16 and after this pandemic I finally talked with my mom and we’re enrolling in beginner teen ballet and I long to jump in pointe shoes
@@talicecue Go for it ! You can already start strengthening/stretching your feet, calves and ankles to be fully prepared :)
I’m 19 and I’m starting ballet next year ❤️
I hope you enjoy it! Ballet is so much fun!
Destiny I’m 17 and I’m also starting ballet now year

N_A_T 21 omg i’m so glad i am not alone lol. i just turned 15 last month so i’m terrified of being out with the younger kids.
You can do private lessons!
Look up adult ballet classes !! They have some offered where I am so you should look into it :)
i’m 16 and i used to train ballet when i was younger but it’s like i didn’t. i wanna do it so bad 🥺
I'm the same! I want to try so much different stuff
Go for it when you can ♡ I'm 15 and in the same situation and im gonna.do it lmao
Try it again! Who knows, you may have a really great experience this time and be able to retain more of what you learned. Good luck!
I really love ballet but sadly in my country we dont have any competition in ballet bc im live in muslim country so there isnt a near ballet class but im gonna go just for fun

I did ballet at 6-8 but I regret quitting but it got expensive of my parents I wish I never quit I wanna start again
Who has any advice
I just love classical music

I continued to dance at home but eventually life forced me away. I then began hoop dance at 27 and preformed for 3 years. I'm 37 now. My mother died at 29 and I spiraled out. I now have a brain injury and for a year have been mostly bed ridden. I'm slowly getting back now tho and had lost 50 lbs at age 24. I have a lot if muscle atrophy now. But I have picked my point shoes back up and to my surprise could still to barre work. And standing in second . I have a lot of core work to do which the hoop dancing I picked back up is all core muscle work. Had I not hit the wall I did at 24. I'd have gone forward with ballet and though I prolly would never have the proper turn out to be a pro classical. .. modern dance and modern ballet were def. In the future. Yes I had been a jazz / tap dancer from 10-14 yrs old . I can still tap and took tap and jazz through out my ballet. Practicing on pointe in my jazz shoes helped strengthen my feet a lot to prepare for pointe . So... even if you are older than 19.. with the proper dedication and teacher and determination. . You very much can even dance on pointe still. Even at 22 my technique skill was far beyond the performance in this video. I danced 6 hours 6 days a week for years. Sometimes more. And then when at home I still practiced. There is hope. It isnt just something you have to begin young.
WOW! What a story. You are so incredibly strong and inspiring. I don't know what hoop dancing it but it sounds interesting! The only hoop dancing I know is Native American hoop dancing which is so incredible. I would have to say core strength is the most important in ballet so definitely work on that so you don't accidentally injure yourself. You've done so many different forms of dance I don't think you'll have any problems getting back into it! Make sure to take care of yourself and keep me update on your journey! I'm invested. Thank you for sharing with me and my viewers.
I’m 14 and I’m starting ballet this year 🥰 and I literally don’t know how to do the freakin splits 😭
No worries! In my class no one could do the splits until a few months in. Everyone is at different points in their flexibility so try not to compare yourself to others and just monitor your own journey.
I am 15 and just started it makes me so happy
yay! I'm glad. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Hey, I'm turning 15 and plan to start ballet in a few months. Do you have any advice or things to expect?
Really good for a beginner, but she did jazz turns, not pirouettes. She's really strong though!💪
The way pirouettes are done differs depending on what kind of ballet you're doing x
I started 4 years ago but didn’t do ballet till my 2nd year, so I’ve been doing ballet for 3 years!
hope you're still having fun with it!
I started ballet when I was 13 but the following year I got really hurt where I couldn’t walk correctly for over a year and my spine still clicks and my knee caps don’t bend properly lol but I plan to go back this year, even if I’ll be 18 soon :)
I'm sorry to hear about your injury but I'm gad you've recovered enough to consider going back to dance. I understand how hard it is to deal with injuries so I'm sending you good wishes! Take it easy and listen to your body. Good luck!
Im 16 and I want to dance „on point shoes“ (I’m sorry I don’t know how to call haha) is it still possible?
Dancing pointe is crazy hard. It requires a ton of strength and discipline. I personally haven't danced pointe yet because frankly, I'm just not technically and physically ready to as a ballet dancer. That being said, it's not impossible! It takes a lot of training but I don't doubt that you can do it. Good luck!
TaiBug thank you very very much!❤️❤️
Its possible! I started at 14 and now 16 and is en pointe!
Me at 18 ready but in ✨quarantine ✨
I cackled cause I feel everything I’ve learned disappearing into the void
Im 19 and I start ballet tomorrow. sadly I'll be put with the 7-9 year olds but atleast there are teens that's close to my age :D
August Louise same I’m 18 and starting with 13 year olds but eh whatever
I've always wanted to be a ballet dancer but my parents never let me since its not "manly" enough I guess. Im 17 and I just finished my third class yesterday :) its so fun but im sad its too late to ever go professional.
I'm glad you finally got to get started with ballet! I'm sorry you had some trouble in the beginning. I'm not sure how hard it is to become professional with a company but if you feel like that route is unachievable you can also become a professional in another sense! Dancers on social media are really successful and they are still professional! Keep working hard and whatever you want to do with your dance journey will become achievable!
I'm18 and i really wanted to learn ballet but unfortunately it's hard to find ballet centers here in our city in the Philippines and when i saw some it's very expensive hahah but still i love watching videos on youtube for beginners 😍
I love this omgggg
I’m 19 and I want to start dance too but I’m always been put to the side as I feel like it was too late to start
I felt the same way but when I joined the class at my community college more than half of the people had never danced in any style before. So, it's never too late to get started with something you're passionate about! I hope you get around to trying ballet soon!
Well I'm 15...i lost my flexibility cuz I stopped dance,, would love to start again but Coronacation
I am 15 and I am going to start ballet this year , I am so excited 😍😘
Yay! I hope you enjoy it. Good luck and make sure to have fun above all else.
@@TaiBug thank you, and I am going to work hard and have fun above it
How did it go? I know this is a late reply but I'm turning 15 and I plan to start ballet in a few months. Do you have any advice or things to expect?
I did ballet from when I was about 6 until I just turned 11 and I got scared for a show because I didn’t know the dance fully my dad said you can either do the show or never do ballet or tap again (I did tap aswell) i chose not to do it again because I was too scared for people to laugh and get embarrassed I am now 14 and since I was 13 I’ve really been wanting to get back into ballet but I think it’s too late because I’m too old I’m also scared what my family will think if I join ballet again I’m 5ft 3” and I weight about 9st 2 pounds. What should I do ?
You can do it! I fully support you and I hope you're able to start up again! I have moments where I forget my dances as well and it can get really nerve racking. Find a good studio or class where you feel supported and welcome and you shouldn't have a problem! You don't even have to perform with you don't want to! It's fine if you just want to learn for yourself. So you do you and I hope you have fun!
TaiBug thankyou
I’m 15 and really wanna start ballet but I don’t have the courage to ask my parents because I know how expensive it can get and I don’t wanna seem like a burden to my family
I totally understand this. Leotards and ballet slippers are expensive and I was really lucky that I fit some hand-me-downs. A great way to get started for free is through youtube! Because of the world situation a lot of people have started posting classes and routines online so there are a lot more options than before. When you get older you can try some classes at community college because the prices are cheaper and you'll get college credits for it as well. If your family sees how dedicated and passionate you are about it I'm sure they'll look into what options are viable for their situation. Be hopeful and I'm rooting for you! Good luck and feel free to DM me if you want to talk more!
You got abs from a few months Of ballet?
So I’m 14 and We’re to poor to afford ballet classes but I’ve learned through millions of videos since I was little and my dream is to become a professional ballerina but can I if I’m gonna start soon?:(
I don't know how difficult it is to do ballet professionally but as long as you are passionate and work hard I believe anything is possible! Getting hooked up with a studio will help you with auditions to join companies but it's still possible to audition on your own! Good luck and best wishes.
I started starching so I can be flexible to start ballet in summer break next year 🌸🥺
YAY! I'm excited for you! I hope everything works out so you can take classes next summer. Make sure to listen to your body and stay consistent.
I used to do ballet when I was little but stopped. Might start again this year but if I start in a beginners class will the kids be my age?😂 Also lovely video 💚
I'm glad you want to get started again! Try looking for teen/adult classes if you want to be sure there will be people your age (assuming you're in that age range).
I'm 11 and really want to start I might ask my parents cause they really want me to do ballet too
I'm glad you have support from your family. I hope everything works out since the world is so uncertain right now. I'm rooting for you! Good luck.
what ballet shoes should we wear for beginner? because i know pointe shoes aren't for beginners. can someone tell me? i'm 19 and i am a beginner
I used Capezio canvas ballet shoes. They also come in leather. If Capezio is too expensive they have a whole bunch of options on Discount Dance and Amazon!
I have a question, how does the classes per week work? Like if I do multiple dance styles is it like I do one of them a week and then do the other style the other week? Or do I do both styles one a week? I don’t know how to word it but that’s what’s really confusing me
When I did multiple dance styles in the same semester I had ballet on Mondays and Wednesdays and modern on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I had dance four days a week. I had the same teacher for both so that made it better! Hope that answers your question.
Your reactions are so cute 😂
I'm 18 I want to start but in my country there's no dance classes & they say girls for kitchen but I really want to be ballerina! Any beginners video??
+ Mom said if u do split u will lose your virginity since u r 18 is that true???
Why are you doing ballet variations when you barely started dancing.
So I started ballet a little over a year ago at a low key studio and fell in love with it and want to go to a more serious and advanced studio but I’m not sure if I can because everyone at that studio my age is already en pointe. Any advice?
(just a tip) maybe try controlling ur arms a bit more if that makes sense
That makes perfect sense. I don't have the greatest strength/control in my arms so it's definitely an area I have been focusing on. Thanks for the tip!
you are such a sweet person 🤩
thank you! (ᵔᴥᵔ)
Oh my gosh I thought u were liza koshy lol.
I wish lol
I’m 20 abt to be 21 Tuesday and i wanna be a ballerina so bad 😭 i have like 6 months of experience
If you keep working hard, anything is possible! I believe in you. I'm rooting for you! Best of luck
I’m twelve and i was wondering if I’m too old for it ? Am i?
Not at all! I don't think you can ever be too old to try something new. As long as you have the passion and commitment to do it you can do anything. It may be a bit harder for you if you've never done any type of dance before but it doesn't mean you can't do it. You may just have to work harder. Let me know how it goes! I'm rooting for you!
i started ballet at age 12 and got my point shoes at 14, which is still pretty late but do not give up i have panic attacks all the time if i’m not good enough or i’m too old but no matter what all that matters is the love for dance, it is never to late to start to do what you love.
I started 16 and im finding out if i get on pointe tmr
I hope you got the news you wanted! Good luck on your journey in ballet/dance!
i really want to start. I am 13 but soo unelastic so idk should I start? Its my dream but I am soo unelastic!!
You should definitely start!! If you work at your flexibility everyday you’ll steadily improve. Your flexibility will also improve as you learn ballet so you can start at anytime. Starting with flexibility will be easier but you can still do it without any! Good luck and best wishes! Follow your dreams.
I'm 20 is I'm possible to join dance class???
Yes!! I’d recommend getting started at community college/college cause you can get credits and you’ll also meet people from any studios nearby. Then when ur ready to go to a studio you’ll already have friends!
@@TaiBug ❤️❤️❤️
I want to do it but we are in quarantine
MOOD! I'm having trouble keeping up with what I've already learned so I can see how hard it would be to start from scratch.
She looks similar to joana ceddia
What if my breasts are too big??
I'm not quite sure what you mean? Do you mean breaks between semesters? If so I feel the same way! Practicing on your own is great but it's just not the same.
TaiBug sorry I ment breasts
Oh... get a really good sports bra and pair it with a supportive leotard. Some leotards have built in bras so just double up! I don’t know if in traditional studios they have restrictions since they have dress codes so call ahead a make sure! Otherwise I think you should be fine.
TaiBug ok thank you so much
You are so sweet and gorgeous 💞
Thank you so much!
