She actually could. If you happen to have all the things a ballerina should have. Like flexibility(which you can work on), coordination, the right attitude, the body, strength, picking up combination fast etc. Luckily most of the things you can work on. I know someone that started at 18 and is now studying at the national ballet... She is even better than the ballerina's that started young. So it's truly never to late. As long as you got passion and you work hard. Just hurry a bit haha.

+MsBabbi I really wish Yuhui could be promoted to Principal. I agree she is an exquisite dancer, so graceful and light, but I do think she has 'star quality', too. Perhaps the RB doesn't see that extra charisma or whatever in her? Too timid maybe? There obviously are a lot of components necessary to make a great Principal, but I really think she's got whatever it is (although I'm just a ballet fan, not the Director, of course!). Ah well, at least she gets some good solos.

I like how each dancer is in a way personalizing each exercise but doing different arms, some of course are the same but when they aren’t specifically told on what to do with their arms, it’s really interesting on how they choose which arms to do, based on what they think suits best or feels most natural. Truly lovely

Talk about "put in my place". Anyway, she gave me a cup of tea when I got them all safely back! I appreciate all the hard work and pain these dancers endure to achieve their goal.
