>Dear Basheva, have you really started doing ballet in your mid-twenties and then danced professionally? I am 25, have had 6 years of ballet and am totally dedicated to it. But I think I'll have no chance to dance professionally. I am living in Europe - have you any idea where I could go to study ballet? And is it possible that I could still get a teacher's diploma? I started ballet when I was six, but for a serious illness I had to quit till I was 17 and then again I had to restart at 19. Do you think I still have any chance??? Please please tell me! I am so desperate. [/i]
