Much luck and courage for both us !!!>If you need any information about ballet or other things, don't hesitate in ask me. I don't know if I told before but I live in Brazil and my mother was a ballet dancer of the Paris Opera, so I'm always in touch with ballet information!!>Bye,>Leonardo >>>>I would like to receive opinions for a great doubt I have about myself. I studied classic ballet for some 3 years when I was a child but I stopped. Only now, with 23 years old, I want to do it again seriously and be a professional dancer. >>>What do you (I mean anyone who read this and answer me) think about my "advanced age"??? I think I would take at least some 3/4 years to be in an advanced level (even with private classes). >>>Thx>>>Leonardo (Brazil>>>>>GO FOR IT! If your determination is strong you can accomplish anything! You are still young and many professional men have started late. A man can make it if he practices and tries with a passion.So best wishes and I'll see you perform with a company soon! >>>No problem. I too came to this web site looking for encouragement. I started last May at 15. My teachers are very supportive. I was cast in the Nutcracker last December without even a year of ballet. Since then I've been taking classes with 3 men and the rest women. Some girls are my age and their very good so are the guys (their older). So I came to this web wandering the same thing. I was encouraged to countinue so I have. So thank you for believing in my advice (I believe) and I hope to countinue to write to you on this web site for later times! P.S. A wounderfull late male starter is Cornel Crabtree and check the NY City Ballet for other great male dancers who started late! GO FOR IT! Answers to this message:
