Im a 14 year old girl and I want to start ballet Okay Im 14 and if you've read my previous question, its says im 5ft From the age of 10/11 I've been super flexible, I could do handstands, front spilts/side splits, cartwheels and so on but Now im 14 Im quite flexible but I cant do the splits anymore. i WOULD LOOOOVE TO START BALLET, I think that its awesome. Is their a certain weight you need to be or a certain height?After I started watching ballet performances and ribbon dance performances I started to fall in love with it. I don't want ballet as a career ... but I'm not sure about that yet. ^-^ OHHHH and My top bit is much Skinner than the lower part of my body, my butt is just huge and my thighs are huge too... My mum says that it might be because I have alot of leg muscle or it might just be fat ( I eat alot but I don't gain weight ) So im a little embarrassed of wearing the ballet costumes you use. what ballet places are there in london and is it boys separate to girls(in different rooms), not that I have a problem but its just my lower half .-. Thank yoooouuu P.s Im indian as well,

I have been in ballet since the age of six!
And no worries about weight or height!
While dancing in ballet, believe me if you have any fat it will truly disappear in about two weeks of you starting classes.
When you start don't expect to be automatically put in pointe or grande shoes just yet!
If you have never danced in ballet before, you need ALOT of training before going into pointe shoes!!!
If you never danced ballet, you will be in a beginners class, try searching for See More some ballet schools in your area!
Also mostly boys and girls are separated during classes, unless you have an recital that involves boys dancing in it.
Anyway, you wont just be shoved into a ballet costume as soon as you arrive, you would wear tights and leotard of the schools color.
You would wear ballet shoes and if you want or the school requires a small ballet skirt.
Don't worry, you would probably love ballet!
Hope this helps!
