Ballet
I was thinking today about how amazing it would be to be a ballerina..i've always admired how graceful and hardworking they are..i'm a very clumsy person but I know it's possible to become graceful and I'm passionate about music and dancing freely and feeling the music but I've never been enrolled in dance classes or anything like that before and my question is..what exactly is it like being a ballerina? is ballet worth all the time and effort? basically I just wanna know about it from anyone who has done it or knows somebody who has done it. thank you!

To be absolutely honest, 15 is a little late to start ballet if it's something that you want to do professionally. Most ballerinas start really early. I did ballet for over 15 years and I started at the age of 3. If it's just something that you want to try for fun then I say go for it. It's fun and it's an amazing workout.
It's very time consuming and it does take a lot of effort. I mean you'd be spending hours upon hours repeating the same steps,leaps,turns, positions, pointing your toes, turning out...until you finally get your technique perfect. It can be very hard and demanding on your body.
By the time I was 15, I was already dancing on pointe. My feet would bleed and blister. I had broken several toes. The length of a ballerina's career is very short and you'd be spending most of your dancing prime just learning things that many girls learned by the time they were 8.
I don't mean to be brutally honest, but that's how it is. It's an amazing art and if you are interested in it as a hobby, then you should definitely pursue it. It probably wouldn't happen as a career.

I did ballet for about 10 years and I loved it. It's a lot of fun and you'll meet a lot of people. It's definitely worth the time if it's something you're interested in. I think you should take one session of lessons, see how you like it, and then decide for yourself if it's something you want to continue.

I did ballet for 5 years, and its fun i do not really like tutus but hey, i loved being in the lime light because i was in the Nutcracker, you get what you put it in, but some people get the talent naturually, iam a normally very clumsy person but i did really good in ballet and i was graceful too.
It also helps if your flexible...
Unless you live in Britian or something youll probably get ridicule for doing it I did

if you are really passionate about it it is worth it. the pay isn't good at all and you have to work on technique for hours (if you are professional). although the result is beautiful it takes years of CONSTANT hard work to get your body in the condition to be a ballerina. you could enroll in beginner classes and just have some fun with it, but being a ballerina is a tough life to live... i've done dance for 8 years so thats how i know hahaaa

I was in ballet. When I was in gymnastics the coaches made us take ballet. It was fun, but I found myself getting very bored after a while. It's up to the person I guess, people like different things. Some people are really passionate about ballet, I know some people who live for ballet and dancing. But if you do decide to take ballet and you stick with it, it becomes pretty time consuming. You might miss out on a lot of great things, especially at your age. Because you'll have practice, compititions, dress rehearsals... Also most of the great ballerina's started ballet at a very young age. If you want to start ballet, go for it, but you might be in a beginners class with four and five year olds.
