The teacher said I should try GRADE 6!!!!! Why is she starting me in a really hard class, i just know I'll be the worst cause everyone will be on pointe, i'll be with my age group but i'll be horrible!!!! I'll probably do a private lesson as well and maybe i should try a beginner class like grade 3. My cousin who is 9 is in that class though. hi

I know now for sure that I am capable but I will not be ably to pick up where I left of in my grades so I won't have my certificates. Will this affect my hopes of becoming a principle Ballerina??

Ten I ventured off to other sports. I have danced my whole life. My worry is that I will have to start back with the basics again. I have always been told that I am very talented, a quick learner, and very graceful but will that be enough to get me caught up.I'm 16 and is have found another dance school but I dont want to be in class with kids younger then me because I would be a beginner again. But I do know one thing..... dance is in my blood there is nothing in the world that can keep me from it! :) whish me luck! I started ballet when I was 3 and continued it til I was 12.

I started late too- at 15 years old, and I'm now 19 like you! I took regular classes for about a year and a half and my teacher suggested I take it to a professional level! now I can go on pointe and am in Intermediate. if you work hard you won't ever fail! keep your will strong because you'll need a lot of that, sure there will be girls with years of experience but you'll have to start somewhere! read up on techniques, get dance magazines, stretch often (I stretch every morning, I stand on tippy toes when I brush my teeth and I stretch before bed every night!)! nothing will stop you if you have true passion for it! it’s never too late to start!

I'm 26 and only went back to ballet last year. when i was little i went up to grade 2 but then stopped for many years. I've always loved ballet. I'm not the best or the strongest in my class but i keep trying and i have set goals. i believe never limit yourself always just try. does doesn't always have to be about being the best. I would love to teach ballet one day but I'm not sure if I've set my sights to high. Hi all.

I am going to audition for ballet school when I'm 18 which is extremely late, but it will be good experience just to audition! But I struggle a lot with grasping sequences quickly, and I have no natural turnout which doesn't help. It definately feels awful when you're in a class with people that can do everything and are really thin and perfectly shaped! (My spine is rather wonky - its not serious but it puts me out of line!)

At age 39 I suffered a prelapsed disk in my lower back triggered by a bad fall that had me in bed for a month. It cost me all flexibility in my right side. I vowed to not let my back get the better of me and took up ballet (for the first time) at age 40! The beginning was very frustrating (and being a male did not make it any easier). However I've been attending classes consistently three times a week for the last two years (as well as pilates) - I've managed to squeeze 6 years of technique into just 2. My foundation is sometimes lacking as a result but I have really come far. In fact I'm now preparing for a short (6 minute) piece in a small community performance later this year.
