Can i start ballet classes now?iam 15!!?concert venue

sure you can... though the chances of your becoming a professional are very slim, any person of any age can enjoy dancing, and 15's perfectly fine.

Can i start ballet classes now?iam 15!!?events opera theater

You can go into ballet at any age, really. As long as your legs are fine, I don't see why not. It may take awhile for your body to get used to it again but if it's something you enjoy, you should go for it.
Its never too late, and you could still become a professional if you worked hard. Don't listen to people who tell you otherwise.
Sure, but your chances of becoming a professional ballet dancer are between slim and none.... If you have a TON of talent, have a great school and teachers, total determination, and a lot of luck, you might get to professional standards by age 19...competition between female dancers is ferocious - be prepared. If you have no professional ambitions, enjoy your classes and the chances to perform in front of an audience. You will set the pattern of being fit for life
sure but it might be hard to get bak into the swing of things like all the french terms like tondu plie tombe good luck
It doesnt really matter what age you are. The real question is how much your body can handle. Your age has almost nothing to do with it. your strength and willingness to do something matter. Remember ballet is really staining and competative. So go for it if you want to! good luck

happy dancing

How to find ballet models?

Im a photographer in Memphis and have wanted to do a series of ballet photos for about a year now. Most of the studios have there own photographer and allow no one else in.

How to find ballet models?performing shows

Try posting an ad on Craigslist (the Memphis one is here: http://memphis.craigslist.org/) under "creative"http://memphis.craigslist.org/... or "talent" http://memphis.craigslist.org/tlg/ gigs. It's free to post on craigslist, and a lot of models check it for freelance work.

Also try a local college or university dance department. Most art departments are more than willing to work with you, particularly if you'll give them a copy of the prints for display on campus.

Which are better ballet shoes, canvas or leather?

not for pointe just for ballet.

Which are better ballet shoes, canvas or leather?mr messed up

I prefer canvas shoes. As some people have said, they do get dirtier a little bit faster than leather shoes, but the good thing about canvas shoes is that you can just toss them in the washing machine and they'll look as good as new. (Just be sure your machine is set on the 'Gentle' or 'Delicate' cycle.)

I also feel that canvas will fit your feet better than leather, and it breathes better than leather too. But honestly, both types of shoe are good and it's really which type you prefer.

Which are better ballet shoes, canvas or leather?getting late opera theater

Leather are better, they will stretch and mold to your feet better than canvas can. Canvas is cheaper though.
I don't think there's much in it but generally leather shoes are more dearer , it depends on where you want to buy your shoes from.
It all depends on your preference.

Leather is more expensive but last a LOT longer than canvas.

Canvas is cheaper and doesn't last as long.

I wear canvas because I like the way the shoes look on my feet. They're faster to break in, but get dirty and smell bad after awhile.

Good Luck
I much prefer canvas (split-sole) for the look and feel. Leather does last longer though. There is also more friction between the floor and the shoe with leather, so if you're used to canvas be prepared for a different resistance.
i wear canvas because i think they look better on my feet, but like everyone else said, leather last longer.

here are some good canvas shoes

sansha pro 1C

Capezio Juliet
for class i like full sole leather beause it is harder to point and turn in them, but for performances i like split sole canvas because they make your feet look more arched and if you can do a double in leather you can do a triple in canvas, also leather last longer and looks cleaner adnd neater for a longer period of time
Split sole canvas seems to fit a dancer's feet better. it also allows your feet to breathe more than leather, which traps the heat and sweat inside your shoe, plus it is less expensive. =]
I prefer split sole canvas... Just because I don't like the friction against the floor with leather. I also like split sole (sansha's) because I have wide feet and they seem to fit my foot better and make it easier to get a nice point.

But this is obviously individual. I suggest trying on different shoes in a dance store with trained staff so that you can feel the difference on your feet.
I personally like canvas shoes, but it is personal preferance. some people like leather and others like canvas. i would try leather one time and canvas the next. then you can be the judge. If I were you i would do that and not take others advice. They don't know you and what you like.
i personally prefer leather just because i dont like how canvas looks on me. i just had to buy a new pair...first time since 8th grade (im 24!). they were OLD school leather, like before capezio ever even made the daisy full sole...i just kept glueing them back together lol. it really is a matter of personal preference though.
I would say that leather ballet shoes are better. Only because you can see your pointed foot better and it makes for a more presentable dancer.
i prefer leather. they last longer and they mold to your feet better. if you do get leather get split sole shoes, they look better on your feet.

Is it too late to start ballet when im 14 years old?

I did ballet when i was in gr.6. I was the only onr in gr.6 and other kids were like, in gr.2-4. I was so imbarrased. One of the 4th grader was in my school and she made fun of me and I got so mad that I quit. Now, I want to do ballet again. Is it too late? I mean, I'm 14 years old.

Is it too late to start ballet when im 14 years old?tickets

IT IS NOT TO LATE!

But it is I admit too late to become a pro dancer, but as a hobby why not. And if you get really into it then you could continue in college. I'm 14 and I'm going to start ballet again, even though the oldest kids in my class are going to be 8-10 years old, who gives?

No ones gonna me 50 bucks if I don't go to that class , and who cares if I get teased, it's only going to be momentary thing I'll get over over it anyway. So yeah, you need to do ballet. BUT, I must reccomend going to a school that's not cheap, ( not the $40's range! BAD!). You need to go to a actually good school that people actually know about, or at least heard about. The good school will give you usually a student handbook, that has all of the information you'll need, and each level should go up by leotard color, also if they have piano accompiment I totally reccomend it. But don't just go anywhere check how the teacher is teaching, check A through Z. Make completely sure that this school is good. :) And check the prices. So yeah.

its ok, its not like there is a age that u can do ballet and after that u cant do it anymore. Whocares if people laugh at u.
tell the one who ADE FUN OF YOU TO, "BITE ME AND GET OVER HERSELF".your never to old to try to better yourself or try-new hings, go for it have fun, and flaunt your stuff in those busy bodies faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its never too late honey,follow your heart and have lots of fun and a Merry Christmas.
Nope, never to late to do ballet.

I would suggest though that if they have teen beginning ballet classes at your studio to take them because then your surrounded by teens that are beginning just like you.

If not just go into a class that is your level and hold your head up high and try your hardest.
no! i did ballet for 2 years when i was 6 and then stopped until i was in 7th grade to start up again. dont worry about other people and do what you do best. Dance!
its never too late! i teach dance lessons and there are adults that start at age 45! and if you practice, you can still do it professionaly. you just have to put a lot more into it, but i mean, being a professional is not everyones dream. some of my friends started ballet at age 21 and they look great to me now! no one is perfect, and don't let those little kids make fun of you! they aren't perfect either! i say go for it, and just know that you will probably have to practice some at home. an easy way to practice is to walk around on your tip toes, just so you get used to it. i hope you have fun and tell that girl that she can shove her ballet shoe in her mouth and shut up! good luck!
yes... i started when i was 3

How to wear ballet flats in the winter?

Are socks, tights, etc. worn with ballet flats in the winter? I always wear them without, but am not sure as the temperature will be getting colder. If a sock is worn, should it be the same color as the shoe, or the color of my pants or skin? Any ideas?

How to wear ballet flats in the winter?playhouse

Perhaps sheer, unseeable pantyhose. I would say that generally, you need bare feet with flats, though.

How to wear ballet flats in the winter?plays opera theater

If you have a dress or skirt on, you can wear black tights and it wouldnt really matter what color the shoe is. If you are wear pants, i would just wear an ankle white sock. If you want to get more depth in color. Red and gray match, yellow and black, green and black, pink and black.

Make the socks dark colors preferably.
I don't know about how people wear ballet flats in winter but I might suggest colorful socks like knee socks if you feel comfortable with that if not socks that go well with the flats like pink socks with pink flats.
I would wear tights that are skin color. I say tights because they are warmer.
knee socks or opaque tights
I would think tights or panty hose. I think you could match either your pants or shoe with tights and your skin with panty hose.

Or maybe wear socks that end right below your ankle.
I wear them with nude hose, or colored tights. I guess you could wear them with thin socks, as well.

Dress pants - match sock to shoe.

Casual pants - match to pants, shoe, or even top.
legwarmers. you can wear them over your jeans but a little bit of your foot would still be out. it's stylish and still warm.

good luck.
If you're wearing a skirt or dress, try wearing it with black opaque tights. If you're wearing trousers match your socks with shoes or try pop socks =]
go for tights and flats

Is it to late for me to learn ballet ?

Well actually relearn ballet, because I was in ballet for 3 years when I was 8-11 years old. I am now 16 and I have forgotten everything and I was wondering if it would be to late to learn ballet again since I never got to pointe.

About me:

-16(Age)

-5'8,127 pounds (Tall and thin)

Thank you for your help :)

Is it to late for me to learn ballet ?classical music

No. I don't think so. You just need to have the passion for it and the discipline that it takes. It might be a little harder now that your older. But YOU can do anything!

Is it to late for me to learn ballet ?ms stress opera theater

give it a try why not
Go for it!
Of course not...there are people who never learn to swim until they are adults so why not learn ballet when you are still young?
its never to late to learn anything.....if ur determined to re learn ballet...n if u can still flex and bend...go for it n enjoy....
actually you have to learn ballet since you're a kid, but if you try it hard, i'm sure you're not too late to remember it again
I have no doubt that is not to late to learn ballet. You are still young. However it may be too late for you to become really really good at it, you may have missed too much formative training. That being said if you have talent, desire, and the willingness to do the alarming amount of work necessary to become a dancer, you likely can become "a dancer". Good luck.
I learnt ballet when I was 5 till the age of 14. I was already in the Senior years then when I stopped my ballet classes.

After I started work, I had reconsider taking up the classes again but decided against it. It was because I don't think I am able to point my toes as much as I want to. %26amp; whenever I point my toes, I get cramps. So, I decided not to continue though it still remains as one of my passions. I sometimes still try to do some pirouettes %26amp; party pockers to amaze myself. Haha.

My advice to you, try to read up a bit %26amp; try some moves yourself. If you think you can manage, then you sign up. Also, you have to be flexible enough.

Another suggestion is to request for a try out in one of the classes. If you are able to manage, then you sign up for the class. If you can't manage, you can just still to watching.
well u can try.. but if u wanna be a profesional ballet dancer.. it's too late
It's never too late to learn. You may be surprised at how much you remember even if it was years ago. It is almost certainly too late for you to become a professional ballet dancer. BTW, your body type sounds great - Balanchine would have loved you....
No way! It's never too late to do something you enjoy. Besides, your 16- you'll re-learn the skills quickly. If you're dedicated, then it will be important to immediately become disciplined to learn it and you'll be fine. Most importantly- HAVE FUN!
sure its not too late unless ur thinking of taking it pro. but sure why not and pointe is AWSUM!
It's never too late. I know of dance studios that offer classes for adults who've never worn slippers before. Go for it!
It's never too late to LEARN ballet...

...but to excell at it, you should have started (and continued) when you were young. Something about learning the form while your body is still forming itself.

I myself took ballet at that age. It is fun, and easy to pick up again if you have the mind for dance.
you can start at any age... except that you might not be able to become a pro, you can have fun dancing anytime!
It's never too late. The dance school my girls go to have Ballet classes for adults. You may not be able to dance professionally, but it doesn't sound like that's your goal. Plus, it's good exercise!
go for it have fun with it :)
