16 is not too old to learn ballet. In fact you're never too old to learn ballet!! If you can walk and have even some flexiblity, you're a candidate for ballet. The one thing you must do is stick with it!! Don't get frustrated as it will take qiute a bit of time until the movements become easier to remember and to do. But you'll never know unless you get into a ballet class. You can look in your local phone book or search the web for a studio near you.[/i]
