Born in California in 1959, she began Ballet lessons when she was 7; her mom thought it would help her to overcome her shyness. I enclose a link to an excellent biography of Evelyn Cisneros's life.

Yes, but it wouldn't be easy. Don't be afraid to take classes with your level, not your age. Not everyone is cut out for ballet. Ith helps if you are naturally graceful.
Depends on how good you are... Some people begin to dance at a young age of 4,5,6 and started their grades at one year older or something.
Most ballet dancers are young, in their teens or twenties. There are some older ballet dancers, but ive never heard of one past their thirties. There is no set "retirement age"
Until they begin to find what they are doing too hard and it becomes dangerous for them to continue. This happens quite early on as ballet takes a lot of hard work and strength which usually only the younger dancers can provide. Also, many ballet dancers get arthritis from using their bodies in a way that it was not designed for. The average age that a ballet dancer will retire is about 25 - 35, depending on the general health and fitness of the dancer. After this however, many dancers go on to teach ballet until the usual age of retirement, 60 - 65.
you can do it at any age !!!
