can I ask your suggestions ? let me tell my Story When I was 4-5 I studied ballet. Then i go to Islamic school. I have to wear a hijab right ? But... If I take off my hijab I'll get sin. Now I'm 12 years old. And I want to learn ballet again. I can't wear hijab in ballet right ? If I wear hijab then I'll have to wear a clothes that not tight. Ballet always wear a tight clothes. But... If I take off my hijab I'll get sin. I love ballet. I really appreciate your reply. Thank you

Salma Nabilara Hi, what country do you live at? I think I might not be the best person to give a suggestion as I am not a Muslim but I am living among Muslims and in a Muslim country. I think it is kind of depend. There are many Muslim actresses or younger generation don't wear hijab during normal occasion. But they will wear when going to Mosque, school or maybe dinner. And some start wearing frequently only after marriage. Even our First lady only wear in religious function or important dinner etc. My opinion is, it's fine to not wearing hijab but your heart and faith are always in the right direction and to your God. And I think you can still wear hijab for ballet I think... there are some customized hijab that is tight and for sport. I remember seeing a swimsuit with hijab from somewhere too. Search around, ask your fellow muslim friends, talk to your parents and ask their views. Just don't give up on your dream and passion, and find ways. All the best in your life :)

I started dance when I was 7. I am 9 right now.

Hi. Im a guy and I started at 30. Have a degree in Russian Civilization which led me to love ballet. I still use it as simple exercise at 66. I’m not very good but I’m in great shape for my age. It’s a great complement to the gym. I got to work in Russia and have seen the Bolshoi snd Marinsky. I LOVE Maya Plisetskaya the Prima Ballerina Assoluta of all time wished I had see her. Perfection! Check out her work if you’ve not seen it. 👍🏼

I took my first ballet class when I was about 4. My teacher didn’t like that I couldn’t do the splits and anything like that which obviously made me feel like I shouldn’t be there. Not once did she try to help me in anyway which quickly lead me to quitting within a week. I’m now 15 and want to try ballet again. I’m more confident and I want to see how far I can go :)

Hi Abigail, the younger, the better - as your body is more flexible the younger you are. Younger people have also not developed some of the bad posture habits that most people gain with age. Your body also learns quicker (muscle memory) starting at a younger age. Make sure that you have a good instructor - poorly teached ballet can hurt you. Enjoy, Ciao, L (Ballroom dancer since age 15)

Okay, so I'm almost 16 and I'm starting to teach myself ballet, and I was wondering if it wasn't necessarily a bad thing? I mean, most people say that you should start pretty young, but I couldn't for various reasons, and I always thought I could never be a dancer because of that. Is this the case, or will it just be harder for me and take longer for me to acheive?

I did ballet for as long as i remember so my neighbor never did ballet I should her this video and she learned the positions when I teach her it doesn't work but thank you for teaching her the simple positions.

These videos are very good. She is very precise in her explanations with no frills which is very helpful to a beginner! Thanks!!

first I think it was so hard then I try again and again and see now I become a perfect ballet dancer

This is really helpful:) thanks alot!

Thank you so much, this video helped me a lot!! ❤️

A chiropractic adjustment video mentioned "third position", and here I am. Great video.

Thank you for your time! 💚

I had to relearn ballet for musical theatre but it was months ago and I can barely remember it now. I plan to start going to classes outside of college soon, but it's nice to have this helping me remember the basics.

I started ballet when I was 4, but then I quit when I was 6. Today I’m starting again at grade 2/3 ish, and I’m really scared! 🤞🏻 edit: i have done dance for a year and a half now. i am now grade 4, and have also started tap, modern and lyrical, and was meant to be doing a competition in may but it was cancelled. if anyone is thinking of started- just go for it!!

KeeganismeltingHALP! Yes I started a month ago, actually my ballet teacher told me that you get that flexibility by training and stretching your muscles. As a beginner my first classes have been mostly of stretching and balance exercises. I have to tell you, the first classes have been very frustrating because it is very hard.... but for each class I feel that I have improved and I enjoy it more every time, I am in love with ballet and I think I will never leave it :)

I am possibly the tallest ballet dancer and also would be possibly the oldest ballet dancer in the world. The success of my middle aged ballet profession was a rare exception and only two boys or the entire group would lift me up.. At aged 25 the fact that I never pursued my passion due to my height, poor skill etc made me audition and cry my heart out as I knew my dream was over. The Aust ballet panel said my height of 6'0 ft would be the primary reason why The Aust ballet decided to grant me a funded world study in medical/ scientific clinical trial ..a 3 yr intensive ballet training course to guarantee that I reach my highest potential and become the prefered dancer possessing the rare physical attributes, proving that only adults and taller women truely benefit from ballet and get the most out of ballet proving I can become just as good as any other dancer without the years of experience, without the initial strength, coordination, flexibility me thru medical/physical examination said that im an exception to the rules, standards and requirements for ballet.

Hi so I started ballet when I was four/five then i stopped then i did it again when I was seven/eight, but I stopped again, now im 12 and thinking of going into dance again, not necessarily ballet but I dont know. Ballet would be my forte but, again maybe a could switch it up a little what do yall think

It's interesting to note the parallels with martial arts in how these structures are set up. Obviously they were designed independently and for very different goals, but it shows that there are fundamental ways in which the human body can move with economy and avoid repetitive stress. I apologise, I have close to zero knowledge of dance in general, let alone refined arts such as ballet, but I've always had a niggling question: How important is beauty/prettiness to a dancer's success?

So i've been dancing my whole lofe but my studio isn't quite good so never in my life i've been teached how to do correctly these. I wanted to ask if in 5th position your front leg should be fully extended, or should it be a little in flexion?

i wanna go back to ballet, but i'm all rusted! :C
