Am I too old and fat to start ballet?

Im 15 nearly 16, size 14 and I want to start ballet. Am I too old and too fat???

Answer #1

I’ve been doing ballet since I was 5. Your never to old to start something you want to do. If you work hard, and really want to do it, so you be fine. Just remember to always have fun while doing it :] good luck.

ps. any form of dance if a good way to get in shape and stay healthy as well :]

Answer #2

of course it would be harder to pick up on the stuff because the people in your class would be ahead of you but if you r determined than you can do it…so no you r not to old/fat to do it…keep me posteed!!!

Answer #3

I took dance classes when I was 4-6. then I quit and did other things. then when I was like 12, I wanted to start again reaaally bad.

I was in a class with 5-10 year olds. omg it sucked. but I worked really hard and then next year I was in a class with people my age.

find a ballet studio near you that isnt screaming WE’VE WON A MILLION TROPHIES AT COMPETITIONS, or one that isnt too small and you havent even heard of it. one in the middle is a good place to start out. then call them and ask for their beginners classes.

but you have to understand that ballet is hard. I get sore all the time, and you have to have stamina. if you really want it and work your butt off, you’ll do pretty good. :)

Answer #4

If you want to be succesfull, then yes. But if you just want to do it for fun, then no.
