I wana take ballet but im not theat sure about it?state theatre

i take dance classes and i think you should take the class with the younger people with same experience. you'll feel much more confident and less intimidated by people who have done ballet longer than you. it may feel weird at first but at least you'll be on the same level as the others and will be learning with them. As long as youre having fun and enjoy the class it doesnt matter how old everyone else is. and the younger people may look up to you :]

I think you could learn alot from the peeps that are more experienced than you. And don't feel bad about your lack of expereince because remember, they were once beginners, too.
well u should take da class that good 4 you i doubt it matter if you go in a class w/ kids younger then u beside there there for the same reason as u and ballet is really fun i did it when i was little but know i don't have time but do whats good 4 u
well if they all have the same experience, then go with your age group.
u'd probably feel really awkwierd (yes i meant to spell it that way) dancin w/ little kiddies, and that would hinder ur confidence and maybe mess up ur dancin. i'd go with the class of more experienced ppl so u could get tips from them. im gonna do dance
you could always try one of each level class and then decide from there.
it depends on your personality. if your the kind of person who watches people doing something perfectly but you're having trouble with, and try to see what they're doing differently to help you, or the kind of person who sees people better then them and pushes to be at least just aas good as them, you should take the class with the people with more experience. but if you watch people doing something that you're struggling with perfectly and get jealous or frustrated because you can't do it, take the class with the younger and less experienced people
i started late , in a class with people my age that have been doing ballet for 10 years and ive pretty much caught up with them.so i think u should choose the class with peeps the same age as u.

Question for male ballet dancers?

thanks

Question for male ballet dancers?paramount theater

I took gymnastics since I was three. I stopped about age 12. Played sports in school, then my senior year, i decided I wanted to dance. I started competing and dancing ballet, jazz, tap, and acro at age 17. I danced when I went to college and stopped at 24. I'm now 35 and last year I started teaching hip hop and acro in a local dance studio. They also have an adult class which I take regularly. So, I get my weekly dose of ballet as well as the other areas of dance.

The reason I started dancing was for the love of music. I was a vocal major in school and did musicals, so I thought it would be cool and fun. Obviously it still is fun.

Plie or coupe pronounced plee-ay and coo-pay. A plie is the bending of the knees fully or partially in any of the 5 ballet positions.

Coppelia... it's a ballet movie and there were two versions one was in '68 and the other was a '90 made-for-TV movie!

Hope This Helps!
coupe maybe it's pronounced coo-pay
coupe= to cut

plie- to fold

those are the two i think it could be. plie is the bending of the knees, coupe is a position of the foot, usually to the back, in a sur la coup de pied pattern. on wild boyz, if it followed releve it was probably plie.

Where did Spandau Ballet get theyre name?

are they fascist nazi scum?

Where did Spandau Ballet get theyre name?violin

Origionally i thought it was because they were a new romantic band and wanted a shitty name that suited that but they being nazi scum is also possible.

Where did Spandau Ballet get theyre name?chinese theater opera theater

The band was called 'The Makers' in the early years, but changed their name after a friend鈥檚 (BBC London 94.9 DJ Robert Elms) visit to Spandau, a borough of Berlin, the inspiration being from graffiti he saw in the lavatory of a club there. The term Spandau Ballet referred to the spasms of the Nazi war criminals as they "danced at the end of the rope", when they were hanged at Spandau Prison

I just started ballet and doing the 5 positions but how can i "turn out" right" witho

Think about turning out with your thighs and your feet will gradually turn out with it. Don't think about making it as good as possible. You might damage your knee. Also, make sure as you turn out, your feet aren't rolling in, otherwise, you could damaging your turn out.

Turn out from the hip, and don't force it, it will come in time.

I just started ballet and doing the 5 positions but how can i "turn out" right" withought hurting my knees?star theater opera theater

your turnout will get better with time. don't try to turn your feet out at a 180掳 angle. 90掳 is good enough.
it takes a while to get used to but after dance ice ur knees adn u will eventually get used to it
If your knees hurt, you're doing it wrong. Saying that you need to turn out from the hip is only partially right; the rotator muscle is actually in your lower butt. My daughter started ballet with a teacher who also said to turn out from the hip and I wound up taking her to all the local sports medicine doctors to deal with tendonitis in her knees. She finally learned from a physical therapist what she was doing wrong.

Please don't listen to anyone here, even me, about how to turn out correctly. If you don't have a top-notch ballet teacher, preferably one who has danced professionally, you stand a very good chance of winding up with knee issues. You have to be properly SHOWN how to turn out correctly. If you're using the correct muscles, you'll see for yourself how your knees properly line up over your feet when turned out.
There are some turn out tips here:

which might help but DON'T force it!

I'm 35 years old and love ballet, do you think I'm too old to take ballet lessons?

If ballet is what's in your heart then you should go for it, and just remember you're never to old to do anything.

GO FOR IT!
as long as you dont walk with a cane, and you feel that frisky feeling down in your gut when you think about that kind of thing, you're never to old. go for it!!
No. You're never old enough to LEARN more in your life.

Do it.
You are never too old to do anything.
your never to old to try the things you love.
NO! You can teach an old dog new tricks! Just be careful! Stretch slowly, and don't overdo it! I'm older than you, and I just started taking violin lessons. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Have fun!!!
not too old to take lessons....maybe a little late to preform professionally
No, not at all.

It is probably going to be a lot more difficult for you at your age compared to someone starting out as a toddler, but anything is possible.

If nothing else, it's probably very healthy and quite the workout to do ballet.

Good luck.

you can do anything, you are still young.

However forsake any dreams of becomin a prima ballerina at your age your suppleness is on the wane.

But don't give up your dreams of learning, give it a try and see how you get on otherwise you will regret it.

Have fun, live life, Enjoy.

Take the classes! Have some fun, get some good muscle work in, and enjoy the fluidity of movement that only ballet offers. As far as a career is concerned, though, ballet dancers usually start before they hit 10 or 11, and their bodies develop a certain way - and by 35 or 40, their career is pretty much over considering the incredible physical demands of a career. That's not to say you can't enjoy it in moderation right now and for years to come, though! Go for it.
No, not at all, I think that if your passionate about something you should go for it!!!

God gave us all talents, he gave us a spirit.

There is no black and white for talent, there is no "politically correct" for spirit, and there is certainly no rules to say that someone is too old or too young for ballet!
you shouldnt have a major problem as long as you dont get ahead of yourself. make sure your instructor monitors how soon you go on pointe though, as certain muscles need to develop in a way that can only be through years of dance so that could take a while before you are ready. other than that just go for it and have a good time.
You have just decided to keep yourself healthy and will lead a better life....
You are never too old to do something you have an interest in. If you are intending to advance far enough to dance on pointe you would need to get your feet examined by a podiatrist to see if they had the strength to do so, as the young ones usually spend about 10 years working on their technique to get their feet ready for this and at 35 it may not be possible for your feet to do so. But it isn't necessary to dance on pointe to get pleasure from ballet. you could also look at doing modern dance or contemporary.
Do some yoga in addition to ballet classes - it will help your focus, balance and flexibilty.

Do ballet as a way of expressing yourself, your inner grace, and

your body. Yoga will also help you feel more 'in' your body on a daily basis so you'll get more from your ballet classes.

You're never too old, and who the heck says 35 is old?! Damn them...! It's for you, and your feeling of 'YOU'. The more you feel like 'you' the younger you'll feel anyway. ; )
What does age have to do with ballet?

Go for it !!!
no, most studio's offer adult ballet classes
If you have any health problems ask your doctor what he/she thinks. If not - go for it, but don't push it too hard. Some of those positions are murder!
not at all
Ballet is a wonderful form of exercise, with total body warm-up and stretching --not to mention the coordination needed for the center work. Most older Americans need to start some sort of gentle exercise such as ballet or water exercises to help prevent osteoporosis or at least slow it down. Women benefit from this exercise because it is easier on the body (and fun because of the music)--helps prevent those hip fractures that many older women incur. You are building a little muscle (not nearly as bulky as other forms of exercise when taught correctly) which will help those hip injuries.

I am a teacher who has been involved with ballet for over 40 years. I am still dancing quite a bit and enjoying strong bones--it's also great for the psyche.
