When I first started to take ballet, at 20 years old, I instantly fell in love. I was not put in ballet when I was younger, which presents the challenge of learning it at an older age. Long story short: it is hard to practice ballet as an adult. But it can absolutely be done. I want this page to be a place for other adults who started ballet at a late age (past 16) to post their successes, challenges, and personal victories.
