Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Wow! I wish you a really good time learning ballet! I think you don't need to worry about your weight or anything, but you should probably exercise at least three times a week (if you don't already)!. For ballet you would need to have cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, but most importantly flexibility!. You can improve your cardiovascular endurance by doing aerobic exercises such as swimming, running or skipping!. For improving flexibility, I think you should stretch a bit everyday!. Make sure you warm up first and don't overstretch!. Your diet should probably include a lot of calcium and complex carbohydrates, like diary products and bread/pasta, because they give you energy and make your bones stronger!. You should also prepare yourself mentally, like being able to accept mistakes and failures, and being resilient!. Sorry, that is all the advice I can give, good luck and have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com
