Depends on your goals. Starting now you're unlikely to become Prima Ballerina, but that doesn'mean that you can't dance.
Hi There, It is absolutley not too old to start ballet at 11. I started ballet in 2001 when i was 12 and now I am in the New Zealand school of dance. Good Luck =)
I am 13 and interested in studying ballet as well. Although I believe it is never too late to do anything, it will be really difficult to learn. Ballet has many different positions to learn and jumps to learn. And you must be EXTREMELY flexible. Most children start when they're really young. But if you really want to do it, then do it.(: Don't be discouraged though, I am 13 and have never done ballet before now in my life.(:
You never know- if you want to start a pro career, i would definently start it now. 13 isn't that bad. If you are really into it, and really work hard, you could get a job as a pro. Go for it!!!
Definately, you can start at any age, most studios tend to put dancers in classes by skill, not age. I have a friend that just started taking dance at almost 14 and she has caught up to most of the people in her class by now.
it started as man dancing in tutus nearly completely covered except for the head.
it's never too late to learn anything.it just might be tougher for you to learn the moves i think that you should give it a go! I started late too and I've just received Very Highly commended (85-89%) in my ballet exam! _____________________________________________________________________ No, absolutely not. You can begin learning ballet at just about any age--now to actually go pro... well, it's best to start earlier. B-movie superstar Jeff Fahey took ballet at 25 and won a scholarship to dance with the Joffrey (a rare exception, but it does happen). Enjoy yourself. Go and learn. _____________________________________________________________________ Go for it. If you wanna learn something new, then why not? But don't expect to be a professional in one week. Now that you started late, you have to work harder and it will take time. Believe me, ballet is not easy. You will need to train for several years before you are ready to be in any company. But don't make that or your age discourage you. Ballet is a wonderful learning experience and can lead you to much success.
you can start ballet at any age there are classes for 2 year olds all the way up yo adult. It is a common misconception that you have to be young to start ballet, i started when i was 13 and now im en pointe and as good as my friends how have been doing it since they were four. so please dont be put off by your age ballet is wonderful no matter how old you are !! :)
"I've been studying ballet for ten years now." "Do you dance? What type of dance? Jazz or Ballet?" Ballet is a noun.
She has me interested in everything that has to do with ballet. The dancer excelled in ballet. I must leave now if I am to see the opening of tonight's ballet performance.
It's a bit late now, it ended almost a century ago.
You would enter a teen beginning ballet or a young adult ballet class.
The first type of ballet started during the Renaissance time, in Italy, around the 1400's as court ballet. The French adopted ballet and made further development in the late 1400's. French ballet had minimum plot because of rich costumes, scenery, and elaborate effects. Court ballets reached their ending point in 1643-1715 because of King Louis XIV staring in his ballet as the Sun King. In 1661 King Louis XIV established a professional dance registration for what he called "Dancing Masters". That was the start of pro- dancers. The first female dancers started in 1681. They wore hoop skirts, headdress, and tons of make-up. Men wore a knee length hoopskirt, or called a tonnlet. Romantic ballet started in Paris in 1832. Other countries adopted this type dance such as the United States, Russia, and more. In the 1920's and 30's modern dance appeared based on historical ballet. Now we have great variety in this sport.
