Hello, I have been looking for ballet classes for adults, but so far haven’t found any. I used to be in ballet classes when I was a little girl 5-12 years of age, but sadly I had to give up ballet due to situations that arised and wasn’t able to go back to ballet classes again.
I want to go back to ballet, but due to my age is a little hard to find classes. Any information regarding ballet for adults would help. Thank you very much

I’m wondering about how long the Nutcracker lasts? If one went to see it in Boston and it begins at 7:00 p.m. What time would this get over? I’d like to meet a friend at 10 p.m. at the airport. Can I do both with that amount of time? Thanks.

I’m looking into taking up classical ballet as a hobby.

there are 2 classes im confused about..

I want to do classical ballet but they are both for beginners ..so whats ‘basic ballet’ does that inclue contemporary and classical?

classes are=

1) Classical ballet – beginners
or
2)Basic ballet – beginners
which one should i be taking if i have NEVER done ballet and want to start right at the bottom?
also-
whats the difference between beginners, elementary and intermediate ballet?

i’ve lately become really interested in dancing, i think that it’s really artistic and just all-around a beautiful thing.

however, i don’t want to sign up for classes because it’s kind of inconvenient for me.

are there any websites with videos on how to do different types of dance moves/dance routes/dance styles?

A couple days ago, I got the lead part in a play, even though at 12, I’m younger then just about everyone. I’ve been super happy with memorized all my lines, getting critism on the lines i practiced so much, and saying everything in five different ways. Thats all okay- but there’s a ballroom scene. Nothing difficult because we have very little time to put on the play. It’s a normal waltz. I’m fine perfectly normal, but now that me and my partner can do that, they’re asking us to put on a few turns (when I let go of his shoulder and spin). It takes a second to get back in place and stop twisting his arm. And what’s the right moment to spin? And for how long? And what movement should we be on when I come back?
They also wants quarter turns. When do we do that? Like when your feet come together do we turn or do we slide are feet together as we do the quarter turn?
Confusion…

I’m going to be starting a ballet class this coming winter term, and i was wondering if anyone had suggestions for slippers. Full or split sole. I’m currently thinking of Dansoft by Bloch. Any opinions?

I’ve been wearing dance paws to jazz and ballet but I just bought my first pair of ballet slippers, but I’m not sure how to sew on the 2 elastic straps. I know I’m suppose to criss-cross them but I don’t know how to sew them to fit my legs. If you can give me some “How-tos” then it would be great. They’re male ballet slippers by the way.

Hi =)
Im 14 years old, 173 cm tall and Im not really what you call “skinny” but Im not obese either…anyway I really would love to start Ballet but Im I too old and have the wrong body shape? Im willing to work hard and practise cause ballet is really hard work. Do you think I can start? Would private lessons be better..would my body adjust over time and get stronger and fitter?

For the time being, as I propably would not be able to start until next year..are there any stretches I can do or things like that to prepare me and get myself a little bit more flexible?

Thanks..I know I have quite a few questions but I would appriciate all the bits of info you have on any one of them.
Thanks again…x

i’m going to be in my first musical ever, and i was wondering if i should get soft ballet or jazz shoes. a lot of people doing the musical wear jazz shoes, but they’ve been doing this for years and i dont know if it’s practical to invest more money in them. and for those of you who are familiar with the elastospit ballet shoe, what do you think of it? i hope the dancers out there can help me!
