What I mean (clarification) is at about what age would a ballet teacher notice that a dancer is performing extremely well, and shows great potential? I guess it could happen at many different ages, but I'd love to read your thoughs on ballet prodigies. Thank you Basheva, I knew a ballerina as experienced as you would have the correct answer to my question. I myself am 35 years old and am about to start taking ballet lessons in July. It will be the one pleasure of my life that I have been denied for far too long. I regret that I did not accept my mother's offer to send me to ballet classes with my sisters when I was 8. I let what other people think affect my judgement. Now all that is behind me. I look forward to my ballet classes with great engery and passion. I may never dance in a company, or at Lincoln Center, but at least I can say "I'm finally a ballet dancer"!!! Answers to this message:
