I used to be fat as a kid/teen, when I was little (5-7 years old) I danced ballet at a studio but the teacher was an old bitch and kept bugging me about losing weight (poking my but and tummy in front of my classmates), being just a kid, I finally dropped it, I hated the humiliation (I was not that fat then, maybe a little over the average kid) As I grew older I always wanted to dance ballet again, but I started gaining more and more weight and all of it me insecure about starting dancing again, remembering my dreadful first ballet experience. Last year, I decided to change my life. I lost 75 pounds and after that I finally decided to start dancing again, I did not have any excuses anymore I really wanted to dance ballet, even after more than 10 years and a bitter experience, I had to try it again. I started 3 months ago taking 2 (1 and a half hr) classes at my University, in the beginning I was really nervous, I still had some body image issues and I feared that my teacher/classmates would bug me like the one I had when I was a kid. I was pleasantly surprised, my teacher is a really sweet girl, not much older than me, my classmates are really kind and fun and we are all beginners so the class is not too stressful, but we learn a lot. As 21-year-old ballet beginner I, obviously, have no intention of making dance my career, but I am in love with ballet. It makes me feel beautiful, graceful and strong. Since I lost the weight and stared dancing I have being in a better mood and I carry myself with a lot more pride. I do have one goal/dream: dancing on Pointe one day! I am loving it so much that I joined a well known ballet studio for other two classes per week. This class is a lot more serious than the other one, since I am a full time design student I cannot attend the adult beginner class because it is in the morning, but after a tryout class, the studio allowed me to join a more advanced class in the afternoon. There are girls of all ages there: form 12 to 30 years old, most of them are dancing on Pointe. I am enjoying dancing with them pushing myself harder, to keep up with them. I am naturally very flexible, I have a natural turnout and I have strong legs and feet, so it has not been too hard to keep up. I ask questions, listen to corrections, even if the teacher is not correcting me and I am advancing quite fast. I would love to dance on pretty Pointe shoes but I am LOVING my classes on my regular ballet slippers. I even have to wear a uniform for this class! I dance only with tights and a leotard and I feel more comfortable and beautiful than I ever thought I would! I live a healthier lifestyle and the 6 hours of ballet I do every week are helping me to tone my muscles and improve my figure even more. So as a ex-obese 21-year-old ballet beginner I am loving my life more that ever. I know this comment is long but maybe it will inspire other girls that like me are afraid to start/restart ballet for whatever reason. My only advice is DO IT! DO IT NOW! My only regret is that I did not do it sooner! You have nothing to loose and a million things to gain. Being a professional ballerina is not the only way to dance ballet as an adult. I dance just for my own pleasure to express myself and to feel better about myself and I could no be happier. :D I am 21 years old and I restarted taking ballet 3 moths ago, after more than 10 years.

If ur not flexible enough, it's not too late... just stretch every day, it may be slow but u'll get there, just be careful with stretches. Practising evry day will help with strength and if u feel overweight, don't go food free, rather, eat ur proper three meals, but eat small portions, and wait 15 minutes before you decide ur still hungry. and when grabbing a snack, always think, do i really need this (unless it's fruit, fruit and veg are gd) XD It's never too late if you work hard.
