Hi, Im Brittney, Im fourteen and I have a question about practicing ballet and stuff. Ive been taking it on and off since(spelling error?) I was little, and Ive now decided I love it completely and really want to try hard and become good at it. Im pretty flexible, Im about six inches at the most away from the splits, and Im 5' 2" so I think I would be a good candidate for a ballerina. My question is how long would it take to really improve in my technique and talent and core strength and everything if I took a ballet class once a week? I could probably convince my parents to let me take two classes a week. Do you have any advice? Tips? What should I do to really make sure I stay in good shape and be a really good dancer? Im on the track team at my school if that helps. Sorry If this was a long question. Id really appreciate your help. Bye!
PS. Do you also know how to improve on pirouettes? I can do a double, most of the time. I really need help with my balance though. :)
