Are there any famous ballerinas that started late dancing like at the age of 14 and got professional ?
I am just hoping there are any ballerinas that started this late because i feel like i have no hope of making it professional every prima ballerina i know of started at the age of 3 or 4 in ballet..
Please it would be helpful if you could write down their names ^-^.
I really would like to print pictures of them and hang up on my walls in my room, so it’s like an inspiration for me to try harder every time i dance, hehe yeah i know ii’s weird but it works ! P=

Well, not any that I know of. You have to be the best of the best to be professional. Plenty of guys start at a late age though. Most can even start at age 16 and go professional! But that is because not all that many men commit to dance.
Even if you do not go professional it is still plenty fun to do it recreational!

Here are a few dancers that are inspiring. I do not know what age they started and such I just found them on google images!
