written by Leo              on 13.03. at 22:09:18 - as answer to: Re: Starting Ballet Late by Old John atI saw your message and I thought if you all could give any hope about ballet carrer.My situation is even worse than yours, because I'm a 23-year-old just graduated laywer that doens't like to be a lawyer and want to be a ballet dancer.I think about trainning very much and very hard, even with private classes, during some 3/4 year and after try something abroad Brazil (where I live, dispite being Italian), because here ballet is very difficult, imagine for a late beginner.What do you think about it??? And, what have you seen after you message in the forum???I'm very confused by now and about what to do,Leonardo (Brazil) >>I just started at age 15. I want to become a professional dancer, but I think I started late. I try hard and put all I have into practicing. It's hard when you practice with girls who have trained since the age of four. Also being a guy that sticks me out.If I continue to give it my all can I become a great dancer at such a late age??>>>>>>>>>>>>If you started at 15 years old I woud have to say the odds are against you for becoming a professional ballet dancer. HOWEVER.........there are always exceptions!!! So if you really want to join a ballet company I have only three words for you........PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!! Good luck. Answers to this message:
