What is the age you have to get in to ballet classes and later become a ballerina?

There are no age limits to start ballet as each studio differs but it is best not to start too early, six is a good age to start at if you want to be a professional ballerina


How do you become a professional ballerina?

# Take ballet classes! All ballerinas must start somewhere but the beginning is best to learn the art and technique hidden behind it. Most ballet students begin young but older students have the dream to become a famous ballerina. Starting ballet lessons doesn't mean you can't become a famous professional ballerina it just means you need to work a bit harder to achieve your dream! # Participate in ballet performances and recitals with your dance school to learn how it feels to be on stage in front of a live audience. # Once you know you are confident enough and you have your skills and techniques in a good state join performance companies or ballet companies. NOTE: if you are unsure about companies ask your ballet teacher or even keep participating in all concerts etc and wait for recognition or even a scholarship! # Once you are in a company and performing you are know as a 'professional dance' however it doesn't mean you are famous so keep trying and do your best! TIPS: the moment you say how good you are you stop trying so ALWAYS try and never give up. Do whatever it takes it will be worth it in the end!

What if you are 15 and you want to do ballet but you are not very flexible?

You can always start dance. Flexibility is not all that you need to take ballet. If you are determined you may become more flexible if you start dancing.


How do you become a ballerina?

You have to lake lessons, studio or private lessons (recommended for best learning) You have to train HARD, about and hour a day if you want to be sucessful. Usually the ballerinas today started when they were very young (For best results start between the ages 3-8). You have to try your best to never take a break or miss a practice, everything counts! When you are older (18+) hopefully you have practiced Ballet for a minimum of 8 yrs. you must get discovered by signing up with a Ballet Company (example: American Ballet Theatre), you may be turned down but never lose hope, come back in a few months and try again, they will be convinced sooner or later! You will start with being in the "Corps de Ballet" Background dancers (Do some research for more info). The Ballerina is the main dancer and center of attention, so you have to go through about 2-3 levels in skill. Hope that answers your question, if you have a dream to become a Ballerina one day-- I hope you try your best!

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.

NO! It's never too late to start dancing! 12 is actually young compared to some prima ballerinas, believe it or not! If you are trying to go pro though, make sure you can go to a good school that can get you up to par in the dancing world. GOOD LUCK!
