🩰 It’s NEVER too late to start ballet!!! #adultballerina #shorts

Am I too old to do ballet? That's what I've been asking myself for far too long. I never imagined I'd be here today finally living my dreams, but I'm a much happier, healthier person since I started to learn how to do ballet.

And the truth I've discovered from learning this beautiful art of dance is that it is NEVER too late to start ballet.

Don't worry if you're a late starter, there are so many people I know who didn't even THINK of starting dance until they were older than me or you. So don't get discouraged by age, just DANCE!

You're not too old, or too young, or too fat, or too poor, or not good enough. Dance is for anyone and everyone and if you feel the need to express yourself through movement, please try taking a class, it could change your life.

I was told the same thing at 17 and now I’m 26. It’s hard to find beginner adult classes where the teacher takes you seriously.

Not everyone who dances wants to be a professional ballerina. We do it for the love of the art!

I danced when I was a child and gave it up when I was 12. Restarted after a cancer desease when I was 44. Now I am 62 and still do the ballet three times a week. I love it!

im 17 and I do want t start in dance, and this was so encouraging!

[mintorion]

you look so pretty! i went to my first lesson earlier this week at age 30. no prior dance experience. my instructor was so kind and encouraging. he said that adult beginners are his favorite to teach because there is no pressure from parents or anyone else to succeed, it's all for the joy of dance and desire to learn.

Guys, I was fourty years old when I started ballet and did it for three years. Unfortunately I moved away and didn’t find a good teacher anymore.
Now I am 54 and I want to do it again so I am looking for a good school🥰

Beautiful! Quick tip, try to keep your hips completely still during tendu’s

I was told something similar when i started ballet at 16/17 and now at 24 I have traveled the world and been given scholarships to wonderful programs and even got an apprentice contract with a company! Ive just come home from dancing as a trainee with the English National Ballet due to an injury, but I will be back out there soon! So its true! You can do it! I struggle with my mindset and limiting beliefs everyday but Im still pushing forward towards my dream! Im so happy that you are doing ballet and that it makes you so happy! You have beautiful legs as well! Thank you for the wonderful sentiment💕💕

I’m almost 50 and im considering learning ballet to just get into shape at this point in my life 😌🩰

I’m 16 and luckily none of my teachers have told me I’m too old. I’m super grateful because I desperately want to get to the level of pointe.

Great job girl !!! Let’s keep going on and never listen to toxic people Beethoven made music even after he became deaf .. so let’s keep dancing my fellow ballerina

I’m a classical vocalist and have always been so gutted by stage fright, I couldn’t even audition, until now. For some reason I don’t have the same fears I used to. I’m at an age when no one would recommend I pursue professional vocal work. But life is too short, and ultimately, no one really cares what I do. It’s my life and I’d like to leave with as few regrets as possible. Maybe even inspire others, just like you are.

Never listen to someone who says not to do the thing you love❤

[Theamandaa]

Im 27 and going to my first ballet class. Im so excited!

[makeitcount]

I was told that also but already in my 30's when I tried to go back..i miss it so much. Dance brings so much life and as a child it was my escape from all the pain around me.

[Winds_Of_Love]

Thankyou. I am 18 and want to learn ballet when I searched how many time it takes to learn ballet I lost my hope but thanks to you now I am gonna give it my all.

[Silly_duck]

[Lieonessa]
