Quit gymnastics to start ballet?





I'm 14 and i have done gymnastics for about 7 years . I've only done gymnastics at a recreational level but I'm still pretty good and very flexible I'm thinking of quiting gymnastics and trying ballet. Will i be put in a class with babies if i don't take adult courses? Will it be hard to do the ballet moves when I'm so use to gymnastics? Which is harder ballet or gymnastics and should i really quit gymnastics or try ballet. Sorry for all the questions.

Contact all the ballet studios in your area and discuss your situation with the director. How they handle your situation could be different for each studio. But if the studio with the best reputation for training dancers says that they will start you off with the 6 year olds, don't immediately write it off. When a gymnast your age started at my daughter's studio, the director had her take several levels of ballet at once and she was able to drop the 6 year old class very quickly; in a matter of weeks. By the end of one year, she was dancing with people her age.

Ballet is only hard at first because you are literally learning a new language. But the moves, themselves, won't be hard for you. You just need to get up to speed with the terminology and matching it with the right moves. Until you do that, you'd be lost in a higher level class.
