Question
hi Diane i am wondering if i could learn ballerina at age 10 but do you think i can learn at this age?
and how to ballet? thx ur the best!!
Yes definitely! In the Vaganova school in Russia most children start training at nine, so you're not very behind at all. Find a good school with solid technique and teachers that were once professional dancers. Work hard and you could go far with ballet. Enjoy yourself!

Expertise
I can answer lots about ballet, specifically the Vaganova syllabus. I'm still training, but both my parents were professional dancers, so most answers will be coming from them, not me. :) They're the experts. Obviously, questions about difficult technique, etc, would be better answered with someone else, but if you're just becoming interested in dancing, or are having problems with basic steps, like pirouettes or plies, then I may be able to help
Experience
I've seen ballet since the age of 0, because of my parents, and I am training to become a professional dancer now.
