....follow your dream ! 
written by Basheva             on 23.10. at 18:04:23 - as answer to: Wanting to go Professional. . . Again. by Elois I am a bit confused by your post. At first you mention Ballet but end up with hip-hop. I can only help with ballet. The problem for adults if always to find a teacher who will take you seriously. There is no reason why you can't fulfill your dream. There are several adult summer intensives available. If you e-mail me at ORZAK@aol.com I will give you the list - it's quite lengthy.
