Question

I want to be a professional ballerina... and I've been dancing for quite some time. Tips and tricks??

Answer 1

There aren't really any tips and tricks for becoming a professional ballerina. All you have to do is work work work. It depends if you have the raw talent, but even if you do you have to keep working at that until you can get up to that standard.

Take many ballet classes. All ballet dancers start at the beginning learning the art and technique of ballet dancing. Practice and put 100% in every class. Practice at home.

Participate in ballet performances and recitals to learn how it feels to perform on stage in front of a live audience. Practice all the time and perform at every possible opportunity.

Join performance schools or professional ballet schools as you perfect your skills and techniques. Most ballet and performance companies require auditions and, should you be chosen, will expect dedication and respect for the company. These are very hard to get into but offer a fulltime dance education which you will need to get into a company.

Audition for professional ballet companies. The audition process may be lengthy and difficult as the expectations of the professional companies are strict. The more famous the ballet company, the more difficult it will be to get through the audition process.

It's a hard life but it's worth it - so dont give up :) :)

Answer 2

there are no tricks.

To be a professional ballerina you need a huge amount of dedication, it has to be all you think about and all that motivates you. Ballet is one of the most strenuous professions you can choose and to be anywhere near the level where you dance professionally, you need to be training constantly.

If this is seriously something you want to do you need to talk to your instructor and ask her or him what you will need to do to prepare for an audition at a ballet school.

You need to bear in mind tho, that it will take a huge amount of effort and dedication, but if you're sure this is what you want then i'm sure your instructor can point you in the right direction. Good Luck!!

Answer 3

Go to the ballet school and keep doing ballet exams.
