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! >>>>>>>I received many messages which encouraged me. I think I can do it and now I really think I would have chances to join any corp de ballet, despite the fact it would be much more difficult at may age. But, why not trying !?!??!I hope the best for u,Leonardo (ladcaprio@hotmail.com) Answers to this message: |
