....follow your dream ! 
written by on 22.02. at 05:42:50 - as answer to: Re: Pointe for adults by Basheva >It certainly is possible. As a teacher I had several older students who were quite successful on pointe. You need a good teacher. YOu will also need to study regularly 2-3 times per week. And depending upon how recent your study has been - you will need about 2-3 yrs. of preparatory work. If you have any further questions, please e-mail me. Basheva Thank you so much for your response Basheva!! Your words were the encouragement I have been seeking. For some reason I always considered the idea of pointe as an adult unreachable. I have noted your e-mail and I appreciate your offer of advice. The last time I took ballet classes, I was not really fit enough to keep up, so right now I am concentrating on my basic fitness level and strength/flexibility before committing to class. Finding a teacher where I live is not easy, but I know an ex-Royal Winnipeg principal who has expressed enthusiam to teach me. Do you have any other preparation suggestions for me? I've included my e-mail address to this if you'd like to e-mail me. Thanks again!!!!! Answers to this message:
