Flexibility is learned. If you practice at home before you start your class that should help you to get a head start. Your size and height is good as well. Im 144 and 5'5". So yah your body is perfect. I would say go for it.

No, you will become more flexible. Learn to stretch safely--pushing yourself a bit further each day. Your height and weight are good. (I'm 5'1" and about 95 or so lbs.) Good Luck! Ballet is the most beautiful form of dance! :D (my opinion, anyway.)

Go for it. Even if you were a 1000 pounds, you shouldn't let anything stop you from doing something you want. :)

Hi, it will be a good thing for you to do as it will make you more flexible, although I have been informed that you may be reccommeded to take up some yoga as well. good luck and have fun xxx

As long as you are doing it for fun, you will have a great time and you will get more flexible. It is a bit late to start for a profession, but if you have good teachers and are in a studio with a good floor. (Sprung or floating minimum with marley on top even better.) everything should be fine. You may want to consider adding a little pilates to help with core strength & flexibility, but the best way really is to just add more ballet classes per week. Have fun dancing +3 Just saw your answer below and that you have added an extra class. That is great. The best way to find a better ballet school is to call the regional ballet company (Ballet theatre of Ohio) and ask for their recommendations.
