....follow your dream !

If you want it bad enough, nothing can stop you! I am 40 and people tell me I will never dance professionally, but you notice it hasn't stopped me! I dance 5 times a week in ballet and believe it or not pointe work! I dance because I love it. I will dance in a performance if I have to design my own performance and company to be in!!! I know of several women who do dance professionally, but the pay is small (while I am sure the rewards are great!) They also have to work in the regular, dulldrum world the rest of us work in too. You may want to have a backup career too - it kind of would take the edge off being a ballerina - and move your focus into loving it more for what it is, and caring less about how far it will take you. It's a little like love you know - you don't want to take it for granted - ever! Keep me posted. Good luck. Ann Answers to this message: |
