Hello,
I want to become a ballet dancer, but my mom says that a lot of ballet dancers have health problems during their old age. Is that true? She says that the nerves on the big toes get damaged. I tried to Google it to see if anything was true, but I can’t seem to find anything. Also, is it too late to start ballet lessons when you are in your late teens? What are some of the good ballet dancers/ballet companies out there? Is it expensive to become a ballet dancer? How many years does it take to master this art?
Thanks
Do ballet dance teachers make a lot of money?
I am 22 years old…. right now I am trying to lose weight and getting more active. My dream has always been to be a good figure skater but also to do ballet. I have been figure skating for the last 4 years off and on but have never ever done ballet. I am getting more interested in it and need some advice. What are the keys to being a good ballet dancer? How can I find a ballet school or class that will cater to adults? Do ballet schools have certain criteria for their beginner dancers? Thanks! Direct references are appreciated!
I am going to take 2 jazz classes, 1 modern,1 lyrical, 1 hip hop, and 1 tap class in the fall. My question is, how many ballet classes should I take if I want to go pro?

I am an independent contractor for a ballet company. I also work part-time for a regular W-2 filing job. When filling out the vehicle expense section of Schedule C I do not understand what the difference is between business miles and commuting miles. Are commuting miles those between my W-2 job and home while business miles are those between the ballet company and home? So confused.
This is a general question for all dancers, not just for professional ballet dancers.
How much ballet training is sufficient for a dancer to have “technique” and effectively acquire and excel at other styles of dance?
I know barre and centerwork are ubiquitous even at the professional ranks, but I’m referring to before that.
