Ballet billy elliot?

Question

since watching billy elliot a few months ago i've decided to start ballet.The more i read about it it says how many years it takes to go on pointe and how long it takes to be brilliant at ballet.The movie is highly realistic in every other way.Does it really take all that time because Billy learnt it in a few months...

Answer 1

Billy had the option of boxing or ballet in a mining area , what would you choose and pick it up fast and get out .

Answer 2

it's only a movie...

Answer 3

Some kids learn very quickly. In ballet, it does tend to be the boys who discover a sudden talent.

Answer 4

Answer 5

try your best just remember billy is a fictionall character.

but with all the dedication in the world i'm sure you will be amazing!!!

Answer 6

I'm sorry to say that it takes MANY years to become brilliant at ballet though I wish it was that easy to pick things up! My friend has been doing it for about 8 years and my other friend for 5 and still they have not perfected it.

Answer 7

The film is about a boy who goes through a lot of pressure growing up and trying to discover himself.  He finds a way to express his passion and if you are looking for a similar way to express passion then you could find the key to this art rather quickly.  Depending on the amount of effort you put in, the ammount of passion you feel the need to express and the amount of dedication you are going to put in you will find your technique improves.

Answer 8

its nonsense when you're studying ballet in only few months.

i first learn ballet 6months ago (because suddenly i felt i wanna pursue dance major for college) and im in grade5 now, thats because i go on private lesson and i practice almost everyday. and the most important factor is i have been figure skating since i was 7 so it helped my ballet A LOT.

Answer 9

No -one can get that good in a couple of months, do you know It takes two years for the stage conpanies to make a billie elliot experienced or not, for braodway. and they have practice nearly every day, How fast you go depends on what dance type you take up-ISTD, RAD, UTD etc. RAD normally gets people going quite fast.

Answer 10

spose it depends if a)if your fit enough-b)if you have the dedication/time-c)how badly you want to be good at it,but also in reality if you are constant in all these things and 'have the knack'(to coin a phrase)...i reckon its possible to learn in a year or two...they probly shortened the time span on the film

Answer 11

i did dancein from the age of  about 6/ 7 and gav e up a couple of years ago if you have the passion and time to do it u will practise as much as u can all the exercise your dance teachers do with you are to strenghten your muscles and joints i wasnt allowed on points untill my dance teach told me i could as my ankles and legs by that time were strong enough to take the wait. as for istd and rad and that it depends on what exam groupe your dance school are with.
