Contempory Ballet is a great style of ballet, but if you want to start contempory, it is best to go in a beginner class so that then you can establish some basic ballet skills before you move on to contempory, as in beginner classes, they usually work on basic ballet skills first, before really moving on to serious contempory. Watch some contempory dances on YouTube, and copy the way the dancer holds themselves, watch their armlines aswell and how their feet are turned out. When you know how to dance Contempory Ballet, you will probably want to join Classical Ballet aswell, as they come as a pair.

How is Ballet still used and performed today?
Ballet is still very traditional with a contemporary twist added to it. But ballet is still performed traditionally too. As a dancer I like contemporary ballet best. The basics are still used in contemporary ballet and lyrical dance. Lyrical is a much more modern version of ballet with a little bit more expression.
What is a lady ballet dancer called?
BallerinaThe funny thing is that the term "ballerina" refers to a PRINCIPAL dancer in a ballet company, not any girl who takes ballet. But now the term seems to apply to any little lady in the craft. But... the real official term (though little-known) is "danseuse."

Can you be a 'little' ballet dancer?
If by little you mean short and petite then yes. There are many short dancers out there that are actually really good. If ballet is something you want to do, just really do your best and if you are good it wont matter what size you are.
