happentolife asked: Just to add to what the girl said who started pointe at 27: She is so correct! I started ballet at 19 and pointe at 20, and I had only had a few years of Irish dance before I started. So really, yes, people at any age and experience level can start and do well in ballet! It's just about committing and practicing.
Amazing!
Anonymous asked: It is never too late for ballet! I got on pointe at age 27, you 16 and 17 year olds will be fine. :)
You might not be able to be a pro ballerina, but you can get into college dance companies and community dance theaters if you want to get on stage. I didn't start dancing seriously at all until I was 15, and did a few seasons in a modern dance company at your ages. Got into ballet at the ripe old age of 24.
So inspiring!
Anonymous asked: hey! i love your blog! my question is about ballet & arches. My left arch is pretty normal, not amazing but not bad. my right arch on the other hand.. it's pretty bad.. anyways i know there are ways of strengthening your ankles but are there ways to make your arch higher? any exercises that i can do daily to improve? I'm 15 and i know by 18 you're done growing for the most part and you can't change your feet. so please do you have any tips or advice? sorry this is long but thank u!! :)
