What is ballerina supposed to look like?
A ballerina is generally tall and slim, not full figured, with long limbs. However, fuller figured girls can do ballet as well, but the stereotypical ballerina is what is described above.
What is the age requirement for a ballerina?
Long legs, small head, skinny figure, and good feet
How much do ballerinas weigh?
A "classic" body of a ballerina would have long, slender arms and legs; a small head; and a long neck. The height of the ballerina will determine her ideal weight. Most ballerinas are between 5'3" and 5'8", so the weight range is generally 85 pounds to 130 pounds depending on height and other factors such as muscle mass.
How long does it take a ballerina to learn a dance?
For most dancers, it takes their entire lives (from age 5 to their 20s) to master their art. Depending on the dancer, some may take longer or shorter than others.
How long to you have to study to be just as flexible as a ballerina?
You can increase your flexibility but only within the limitations of your physique. In order to be as flexible as a ballerina you need to have the body of a ballerina AND you need to stretch and loosen your muscles daily to preserve the flexibility you have. If you cannot put your hands flat on the floor with straight knees OR sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front and your nose on your knees OR sink easily into the splits you need a good physiotherapist to assess how much more flexibility you could attain. A physiotherapist or an expert dance teacher can test your flexibility and tell you to what extent you may be able to increase your range of movement AND how to do it without sustaining injury.
