>Dear Basheva,>Since you seem to be the most experienced, and knowlegable ballerina on this site, I've got a question for you....>When is a young dancer (either male or female) considered to be a prodigy in ballet? What I mean (clarification) is at about what age would a ballet teacher notice that a dancer is performing extremely well, and shows great potential? I guess it could happen at many different ages, but I'd love to read your thoughs on ballet prodigies. [/i]
