....follow your dream ! 
written by DancingDoc             on 16.09. at 00:13:18 - as answer to: late beginner by aliceI'm not an expert on pointe work (I only lasted for three-months through pointe class before I said this was NOT natural for guys!), so I have to add some words of caution. Try the website www.balletalert.com. They have a board for "young dancers" moderated by several experienced dancers, like Victoria. Victoria has posted cautions about starting point work too early. You just started ballet classes in February and are now going onto pointe 5 or 6 months later? You need some additional opinions from some experts. Maybe you have enough additional training in dance and strength training that you didn't mention. I've heard that most of the gals shouldn't start on pointe until they've had at least 2 years of ballet training. Go to the balletalert site, tell 'em DancingDoc sent you, and see what the girls there say! Good luck! DancingDoc Answers to this message: |
