Answer 1

Whoa, slow down there.

First of all, you need to get the basic stuff learned first. Without the foundation, there is not building. You need a building before you even think about putting yourself out in the dancing profession.

I really suggest that you try and get more than 1 dance class in per week. I know that this might not be possible but if you want to get into the professional side of this, you'll soon learn that most ballerinas have taken 3-5 classes per week lasting for 1 hour if not more. I'm not trying to discourage you here--just giving you a fact that you should acknowledge. Also, most people that try out for professional ballet companies are en pointe so you must work on that, too (which should only be learned when taught by a trained professional and when your teacher thinks you're eligible to go en pointe!)

For now, concentrate on getting the "beginners" class finished and pass it with flying colors. After that, you can try out for summer dance programs, especially ones that focus on ballet. I don't know where you live so I can't give you location names so you're going to have to google some stuff. Also, the ballet instructor at your dance school should be very helpful--express to her (or him) that you wish to become professional in ballet and he or she will help you get on the right track.

I'm not going to lie and give you a sugar coated answer, saying you can make it soon! Because in reality, you are going to have to work really hard.

For now, concentrate on getting your flexibility, strength, and balance good enough to move onto en pointe (which may take you up to but not limited to 2 years). Try and find more dance schools, especially ones that are focused on dance as a profession and not just a hobby so that you can have more than 1 dance class per week. Go to your ballet teacher and ask he/her for advice. Research dance camps in your area that focus on ballet and/or has an intense program. Also, if you can, try and learn lyrical/modern dance and/or jazz sometime (not get serious about it, though) because it usually helps if you have other dances in your background other than just ballet. Unless you eat, sleep, and breathe ballet 24/7, it's going to be hard to get into a ballet company or a ballet company summer session before you turn 18. Dance is a very competitive business and always keep in mind that there are thousands out there that have trained since they were little things called babies.

Do NOT get discouraged though. Someone once said (and I don't remember who but it was a smart person) that there are only two types of people: those who can and those who can't. Those who can't don't deserve to be what they can't but want to be.

That basically means that those people out there that are what they want to be deserve to be what they are now. Those who aren't what they want to be aren't what they want to be because they don't deserve it. Why? Those who are what they want to be desired to be what they wanted to be so much that they could taste it so they didn't let anything get in their ways. Those who are not what they want to be let obstacles stop them from achieving their dreams and those who truly want to be what they want to be won't let anything get in their way (unless it involves illegal things or mean things in general)--yeah, that was a mouthful to say but you get it, right?

Answer 2

you need to go online as i dont know where u live or anything i cant help but try going online and emailing places to find out about costs etc

Answer 3

one thing is that no matter WHAT ANYBODY SAYS just believe that you are the best. dancers are very confident and you need to have that going for you.

next i would use a phonebook to check and see what dance studios there are nearby your home. check and see if they are about money or if they are serious technique.

just remember that dance is expensive

especially if you want to do performaces

but it is all worth it in the long run

just keep going and you will do great
