Can I be a professional dancer? Short answer - probably not. Truth is (and I hope I'm wrong) is that while you seem to have a passion for ballet, you are probably short on talent and that's the bottom line. No amount of classes is going to change that or make up for that lack. You are years behind the training curve at this point too. By now you should be the best in your class and should have been in nationally recognized summer dance intensives for at least the last two years (like Joffrey, ABT, Rock School etc. on a scholarship. You clearly are not there, and it may time to face facts and realize that your odds of becoming a professional ballerina are extremely remote if not non-existent. Take the suggestions that "you can do anything if you want it bad enough" with a grain of salt. I know tis is not what you want to hear, but it is probably the truth.



That being said, there is no reason you can't continue training to become the best dancer you can. You may turn out good enough to dance in college and amatuer shows when you get older.



Training? You need at least 4 1 1/2 hour classes plus 1 or 2 1 hour pointe classes a week minimum. Presumably there is a dance company associated with your dance school that rehearses a Nutcracker and a Sping show for several hours on Saturdays. Talk to your teachers and your studio director for a full evaluation of your potential.

It doesn't matter how long you train, it's how well you do. A three- year old can draw all the time, however, he won't draw Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa
Okay....you seem very passionate about Ballet...and that is the key of becoming a pro! If you believe in yourself, then you can achieve anything...this saying may be old but it's soooo incredibly true! Have the drive to practice practice practice (practice makes perfect)...but don't stress out on it! If becoming a pro ballerina is not possible...study hard in school :D but ballet will always be a hobby :) lifelong?
You obviously have the passion for it, which is an incredible help - and actually I don't think that the timing is completely off. Until right before you go on pointe, you don't want to spend too much time in the studio. You might want to try increasing the 6 hours a week because that's not as much as it sounds. Check and see if your dance studio has an early release program for students your age and see whether or not you can get into it. Most of the very serious dancers go through that and also start checking out dance camps - they don't have to be the ones associated with companies or big schools but just ones where you can refine your technique and get some exposure to other types of dance just for fun. Just keep in mind that the dance world if very competitive and that if you don't have the feet or the body type, it doesn't always matter if you have the passion. Enjoy ballet for what it is - a way to express yourself through movement - keep practicing and working on both your technique and your artistry and have fun with it
First I would talk with your parents see what they think. I think you should also ask your teacher what else you should do. I think if you just work hard and are serious then you can become a dancer no matter what.
take about 3 ballet classes and about 2 pointe classes and each year do a little more, you have a passion for dance which is what really matters



when you do pointe don't just do pointe work on tecniqe too!



I love dance and every year I do a little more, in 2 weeks i'll be old enough to try out for the pro. training program at my school which means I can take as many classes as I want a week for one price, look for programs like that in your area and when you feel ready try out for it!



alos summer intensives give you ALOT of experiance!



hope I helped!

You are getting a little up there, but it sounds like you have a solid foundation, and the requisite passion. The key for you right now is getting with the right teachers, in the right schools. They can better evaluate your ability and your potential.



If they dissuade you from a career in ballet you could always look into other forms of expressive dance. Dance is man's earliest and most elemental art forms.



Hopefully, your parents are supportive and will help you get evaluated. If not, beware of strangers that claim they can *help* you. You might be mature and worldly for a 15 year old, but there are definitely predators out there.
