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.
In my mind a professional ballerina went to ballet classes for seven years, age is best at 10-12 yrs. This person MUST go to class EVERY day! So for seven years every day for 2-3 hours you should be a professional ballerina
You don't need a license to teach ballet. If you want to be a ballet teacher you need to have strong ballet technique, and good exprience. You need to understand that no ballet dancer should go en pointe befor teh age of 12 and what it takes to become a professional ballet dancer as many of your students may want to know this. receiving a B.F.A. in ballet for sure helps. What also helps is being a professional dancer, but this isn't required. Start out my finding a ballet school and contacting the school asking if they have jobs available. Create a good resume, too. Remember to always provide your ballet students with a challengng, but friendly atmosphere where they can improve. To be the best ballet teacher keep your dancers posted on their strengths and areas in need of improvemnet. Good luck!
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"
