Question
my name is chloe, and im 13. ever since i was 4 i have wanted to ballet, but ive never got my parents to let me as they think that im to old. is 13 to old to start ballet?
No, 13 is not too old to start. You may have a little bit of trouble finding a class with people your age for beginners, but if you talk to a few teachers in town, they will definately be able to put you in the class that is best for you.
Good luck!

Expertise
I have knowledge of and access to information about ballet technique and style, professional companies, ballet history, general care of the body, questions about dance education and studios, and other general topics. I can especially offer advice to adult beginners. I will not answer any questions that would be better left to a medical professional.
Experience
I have not danced professionally, but I am a dedicated student of ballet and modern dance. I have taken classes in dance history, performed in amateur productions, attended professional performances, and read and watched many books and videos on the subject. I have also reviewed ballet performances for an online publication.
