    There's a book for adults interested in ballet as a hobby -- called "The Joffrey Ballet School's Ballet-Fit" Here's the amazon.com link --

    I bought myself the NYC Ballet workout DVD for the holidays & it's pretty cool.

    After doing yoga for 5 years, I needed a change & was curious about dance, so after trying the DVD, I signed up for a ballet class at a studio.

    To be a professional, starting before 20 would be good -- but just for fun or a hobby -- even 40 or 50 is okay if a person has the desire & is in good health. Of course, some flexibility, strength, and coordination is a plus, but desire is most important.

    • To be a professional ballet dancer you must start Much younger. You are an apprentice at age 17 or 18 and your training is pretty much done by 16 or 17. 7 is optimal but 9 or 10 is fine too to start.
