Question
I'm 13, and I want to do ballet as a hobby very badly.
I don't want (or expect) to be a professional dancer, or as good as one. I just have a deep desire to dance.
I've had close to no dance experience, but I'm rather flexible... I have an average body...
Would it be possible for me to ever be "good" at ballet even though I haven't taken classes?  

Answer
Good Morning Sarah,

Definitely, if you take ballet seriously, if you enjoy taking ballet, if you listen carefully to what your teacher says and, at the  end, if you find pleasure taking ballet, you will become good, at absolutely no doubt.

Whatever you want to do, whatever level you want to reach, the most important is that you have and take as much pleasure as possible doing it !

'later,

Olivier
