I started getting a lot of ballet recommendations and I have no idea why. It’s kinda creepy, it’s like my phone heard me talking about it with my Physio a few weeks ago. (We’re modifying my exercises to be more like the ones I did back when I did ballet many years ago, which helps a lot with familiarity and motivation. I also then understand exactly which muscles it’s supposed to target, because they’re all exercises I’ve done before. Highly recommend asking your Physio if you can slightly adjust an exercise to be something that makes sense to you, you’ll get a lot more out of it).

I’m 15 and am a “beginner” dancer in my school dance program. My instructor has been teaching for 11 years and in college had Jazz, Ballet, and modern dance lessons. She recommended for me to register into a ballet studio because she said I shouldn’t limit my potential. I became very passionate about dancing and now I feel like if I continue working hard and smart I’ll be a great dancer

a lot of comments saying 'I wanna do ballet, but' if you do not have any physical limitations such as obesity or handicaps, YOU CAN DO BALLET!

@TheHannaKristin 8 жыл бұрын

Not Even obesity should stop you! After all that could be the thing, that will bring you away from obesity (I mean...if you are aware that you'll NEVER be a professional. Just for fun!)

@bente1695 8 жыл бұрын

TheHannaKristin true, but I mean the severe obesity that puts too much pressure on ankles, making your ankles too weak.

@TheHannaKristin 8 жыл бұрын

Bente Eeltink Yes I realise that :) Put the important strenght in you ankles, is the most important when you go on point...so if you already start late in age...you can do like a couple of years of BAllet, lose weight and than go on point :) I just wanted to point out, that depending on what your goal is...your physical appearance is noc limit :)

@bente1695 8 жыл бұрын

TheHannaKristin Disagree. I started late and my ankles have gotten very strong, because of the hard excercises. Obesity is a disease, not physical appearance. It is just not possible to weigh 400 pounds and do ballet. Obviously you can do it if you're fatter than most people, but that is not obesity!

@TheHannaKristin 8 жыл бұрын

Bente Eeltink Of course Obesity can be taken care of! and of course it's hard! But I just think, that if you don't have goals (like being on pointe etc.) you ould do it...But i guess that's just my point of view :)

Check out my channel, I'm posting videos on stretching the safe way, and I love talking about dance. I've been dancing professionally for over 20 years, and I survived a major foot injury. 10 years off, came back stronger than ever. So again, it's never too late :)

Doga Celikay, can you watch KZfaq videos and start learning on your own? If you have a chair with a solid back to use as a barre, you can start doing plies and tendus. I realize that this does not replace a good teacher, but there are also a lot of bad teachers out there. Find your favorite ballet dancer, ask them where they studied, then see if you can find info online!
