Question
are there any special requirements needed to do ballet?and how much can one earn by doing ballet?and how long is ballet training and where can you train?

Answer
Anyone can start ballet!  It helps to be musical, graceful, and slightly flexible, but don't let a lack of any of these things stop you!  If you are training to be a professional most people start at a young age.  9 years old is typical.  They then take class every day until reaching 17 or 18.  However, if you want to do ballet for recreation only you can take class whenever you want!  For good training look into schools with a training method, like Vaganova.  You will see progression instantly in these schools.  Have fun with your classes, and please ask me any more questions you need to!
