I don’t know a thing about ballet and I’m trying to select a school for my children. Where should I look? And what should I look for?

My twins are eager to start ballet lessons, but I don’t know where to start. Where should I look to find a good school for them? Are there any special points that I should pay attention to?

Thanks,
Richard

I’m thinking of returning to ballet after 7 years. How should I start?

I took ballet lessons from ages 7 to 15. Life got in the way and I haven’t danced since I was 15, but I’d like to return to ballet now. I am 22 years old. Is this advisable? How do I start?

Thanks,
Diane

How do I know I got the right fit for pointe shoes?

I notice that I sometimes feel pressure when I wear my point shoes. But I was quite sure I bought ones with the right fit when I did. How do I know I got the right fit for pointe shoes?

Many thanks

Where is the correct place to tie the ribbon knot? I’ve heard different stories

My son wants to dance. What do I do? Should a boy take pointe?

My son wants to study ballet. My husband is not keen to let him learn because of the notion that ballet is for girls. I’m willing to give it a shot, but I’m hoping to get sound advice. Should a boy take pointe? If so, at what age?

Thanks

My daughter just started learning ballet. I hear all sorts of advice about shoes, so I’m a bit confused. Which soft slippers are best? Are pointe shoes made of wood? When can I try pointe?
