Discover the Secrets to Conquering Some of The Most Common Pitfalls You Face When Learning Ballet
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?

Hi Diane and congratulations on deciding to take up ballet again! Do what I did after a long hiatus and look for drop-in classes at your local schools. This will give you a good taster of how they teach and your preference for level and ability as an adult… then you can gauge how you’d like to progress and perhaps sign up for a term of classes. The drop-in option is also cheap and fun as the classes tend to be relaxed and more spontaneous.
If you’re lucky and as you had a substantial amount of experience (you danced for quite some years) then your ‘muscle memory’ should still be mostly intact (I was back en pointe after a month as I’d kept up exercises throughout my break from dancing to maintain my strength). You may need to work on regaining your technique, turnout and stamina (as I did!) but now is the perfect time to return to ballet. You’re young, still fit and if you have the drive to do it, go for it! Good luck and let us know how you go
