Am i too old to become a professional ballet dancer?

Question

I am 13 years old and i started ballet in March 08 and i have just started en pointe because my teacher thinks that i am good enough... I have 2 ballet lessons a week and i have just started pilates once a week. i am 5ft 3" and weigh 96pounds. Am i the right build? (I am willing to lose weight/ put on weight) I'll do anything become a ballerina. And i am going to audition for a place in a ballet school near where i live and if i get in i will be starting in year 10 (september 2009). Have i got a chance?

Answer 1

I think your weight is good but if really work hard and practice every single day and audition you might be able to become a professional dancer good luck an remember to practice every single day.

Answer 2

It just really depends...you have to believe in yourself and be passionate about it...you might get rejected but just keep trying if you really want it, it's all part of a dancer's life!

Good luck!
