I'd say about 7 percent of the population does Ballet. If even. Tricky question to answer, as many many little children do ballet, and unless a total figure was somehow worked out by contacting 'every' school, the ammount would change from time to time. So the rough estimate of 7% of the population is just really a wild guess.
It depends on what type of school you are looking for, and what type of training you are seeking. If you are looking for classical ballet training, the top schools are generally associated with professional ballet companies. For example, the School of American Ballet trains their students for careers in New York City Ballet, and Pacific Northwest Ballet trains their students for their company as well. As far as colleges go, The Juilliard School has an outstanding dance program, as does SUNY Purchase, NYU Tisch, and University of California, Irvine.
Ballet was first introduced in the US in 1901 when The Ballet Russe, a Russian technique company started touring and perfroming in the states.

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!

Typical apparel worn by students at ballet classes can be tights and leotards or tshirts and shorts. The most important thing about what to wear for ballet classes is that one has complete freedom of movement. Most students wear ballet shoes, although some prefer bare feet.

A ballet teacher usually decides when to put his/her students on point when he/she sees that the girls' ankles are sturdy. I was 9 or 10 when I got my first pair, but some teachers like to keep their kids on flat (no pointe shoes) for a couple more years. If you are a ballet teacher, keep your students doing relevés on flat for a while to build sturdy ankles.
