I know I'll never be a performer or anything like that, but I'm interested in dancing for my own enjoyment. I'm currently fairly overweight. Should I work on losing weight before I start taking classes? Also, where should I go to find a class? Does anyone know any good magazines or books for beginners? Thanks =)>>You can use the ballet to help you to lose weight.  You need to find a teacher who enjoys teaching adults - not all do.  Go visit classes and observe and talk to the teacher and see what the atmosphere in the class is.  You can go to your local library and get books and magazines. But you cannot learn to dance from a book - you need to take classes.  If you have some more specific questions please feel free to e-mail me.  Lots of luck, Basheva Answers to this message: [ Write answer ]  [ Forum ]  [ New messages ]
