I started dance when I was 9 which may seem young compared to when you are starting but a lot of girls start when they are 2. But As long as you are ready to work hard,be commited,be passionate, and practice and work your butt off then you CAN do it!! Becuase last year was a year that I got really serious about dance and once your serious about it and have a goal you will be surprised how much that determination can drive you. I feel that in the short time I have danced that it is something I enjoy and that I have gotten so much out of it. I can tell you to just GO FOR IT!! It may take you a while to get as far as other people your age but as long as you work hard and practice and have a passion and determination for it than you can do it!! Don't get discoreged. I know that sometimes it will be hard and you will feel like you can't catch up to other people but you can catch up to others because I feel like I have gotten so much better in a short time. But just GO FOR IT!!! Also, did you know that children ACTAULLY should not start until about age 8? Their bones are NOT strong enough and can serisously damage them! Even kids 11 0r 12 and up are about the age they should start!
from ballet, contemporary evolved, to be a good contemporary dancer u need to be ballet trained, modern jazz also developed from ballet.
A soloist dancer doesnt get the main parts but can, they r good. The princibles are the best of the best
Yea some companies have height recommendations. but if ur a good dancer it wont matter
i am a ballet dancer my self to be able to become a better dancer, you need to be able to hold your posture throughout the dance also to hold your turn outs of your feet from your hip, you will achieve this by tensing your bottom muscules; i hoped this helped!
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!

You do not need a degree to become a ballet dancer, only years and years of training at a good ballet school and talent. If you are interested in going to college in order to improve your dancing before joining a company you would get a BA, BFA, or sometimes BS, depending on the school.
Any age is a good time to start but if you are 20 it would be very hard to become a professional ballet dancer. If you are just doing it for fun and for exercise that is okay.
