....follow your dream ! 
written by Tina Ballerina at on 13.12. at 15:49:49 - as answer to: could i? by >I'm 16 nearly 17 and i'm going to take up ballet. i was wondering if there's a chance i could ever be a professional ballet dancer or is it too late? also, if there is a chance, how many lessons and how much practise would i be looking at a week? Well, I won't sugarcoat this.............the odds are really against you!! You can try, but you'd have to take at least 5 to 6 classes a week and sacrifise a great deal. It also depends on how much natural talent you have. Most dancers who have made a career out of ballet started much younger. True some famous ballerinas started dancing late in life. Melissa Heydon started at 15, but she is a very rare example. My person feelings are that if you want to take ballet lessons great, but at your age I wouldn't plan on much of a career in ballet. Soryy, but I don't want to give you any false hopes. Answers to this message:
