No, its never too late to start Ballet. However, you may want to take a class on the basics, and ballet may not come as easy to you as it does to others your age who have taken it for years. With dedication, you can catch up, although you may have less of a chance to preform professionally.

Why do ballet dancers wear what they do?
This depeneds on if you're talking about a proffessional ballet dancer and a training ballet dancer. Both wear nude pink tights and a leotard. Some dancers also wear skirts over their leotards. The only time a tutu is worn is during a ballet (like Swan Lake) or sometimes basic colored classical (or pancake) tutus are worn suring rehearsal and/or for dancers in ballet trainee programs Houston Ballet II and the San Francisco Ballet trainee program. Short leg warmers are sometimes worn/allowed during the colder months and are almost always only allowed during barre work. Dancers ALWAYS ALWAYS have small neat hair buns. Dancers wear soft pink ballet slippers, and advanced dancers and female proffessional dancers wear pointe shoes (shoes that support you when you are dancing on your toes.) A proffessional ballet dancer is a member of a proffessional ballet company like the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, Washington. These dancers are extremley talented. Their mornings consist of the basic company class and then it's followed by ballet rehearsals. Proffessional dancers dance for about 7 hours a day 6 days a week. A ballet dancer in training attends ballet class several hours a day to perfect his or her ballet technique so, that at age 17 or 18 they are ready to join a proffessional ballet company and pass the ballet company audition. This is extremley hard work and it never gets "easy". Female ballet dancers with very, very strong ballet technique, alignment, and balance who are at LEAST 12 years old do pointe work. In the summer ballet dancers training to become proffessionals attend ballet summer intensives like Boston Ballet's Summer Dance Inetnsive. Ballet dancers also perform in ballets like The Nutcracker and Giselle,and sometimes copete in BALLET competitions like Youth America Grand Prix, Jackson International Ballet Competition, and Prix de Lausanne. Dnacers on track for proffessional ballet career also attend a proffessional ballet school that is linked to a proffesional ballet company by age 15, however they've had many years with a pre-proffessional ballet school before that.
You are 13 and on grade 3 ballet How long will it take you to get on to your pointes?
AnswerI'm really sorry to tell you that you will never be able to go on pointe. Pointe work normally starts in intermediate foundation ballet when you are about 14-15. When you reach this grade you will be 17 and it will be to late to begin as pointe work mostly begins from age 9-12 only. AnswerI turned 15 last week, and I started ballet 2 months ago when I was 14. I have private lessons (another girl and I). We were both complete beginners to ballet, though I take tap and the other girl takes jazz. Our teacher started us at Grade 3, and said that this week we would move onto Grade 4. My teacher then told us today that we were actually going to begin Intermediate Foundation (ie. skip 7 grades). I was really surprised, but my teacher says that in a years time we will do the Intermediate Foundation exam and then start Intermediate work. Intermed. Foundation, as you may be aware, is when you normally start pointe work, and the average age for intermediate foundation is around 13-16. I am proud that I am working at the same level as my 16 year old friend who has been doing ballet for 12 years!!! My teacher is just pushing us to do and achieve our best.So basically, don't give up because I am 15 and beginning pointe work late this year and next year or sometime. I have only been doing ballet 2 months and I'm actually not very good- though I love it!You can still get to pointe work standard!Maybe you should talk to your teacher about how you want to achieve intermediate foundation level, and she/he may push you harder.AnswerI am 13 and in intermediate Foundation on pointe and am doing my exam next week but if you are in grade 3 and work hard you may still be able to go on pointe later maybe even skipping some grades. Never give up hope if you really want to go on pointe maybe discuss some options with your teachers and they might send you to the physio therapist to get your feet examined. Good Luck!I am 13 in grade as well and in inter foundation as well as that and in grade 3 its my second year so its my exam and after my grade 3 exam in grade 4 we go to demi pointe so ill be 14. Because im In inter foundation tho it might be me and others who take that class get there a little faster.
