Meet The Dancer Proving You’re Never To Old For Ballet | Life After 50

[@missorchid3522]

Yes, I totally agree with all that is said about dance in latter life. After I lost my wife, I sold the TV and got out. I at 75 now do SALSA, Ballroom/Latin and two classes of ballet. One class is just a lot of fun and the second class is the RAD Grade - 1 exam.So I would like to see more men take dance up as a means of keeping healthy.

Miss Orchid, I completely agree with you regarding wishing to see more men in dance. I’m 75 and started dancing about 15 years ago, ballroom/Latin, salsa, Argentine tango, flamenco. I had to stop flamenco due to joint problems. There was always a shortage of male dancers but when I started ballet classes 2 years ago I was/am invariably the only male. This isn’t really a problem for me, I’m treated exactly the same as everyone else but would love to see more men learning the beautiful art of ballet.

Oh, I just love this so much! Thank you, thank you. If I can look like you and speak like you when I'm 82, then I will feel I have lived my life well!

I'm 54 and still remember all five toe positions and to hold my elbow even wth my shoulders. It wasn't as easy as it looked. After a long barre warm-up/practice, your elbow was definitely shaking a bit lol.....one of the reasons ballet dancers, especially females, have such beautifully muscled arms.

[@lottalarsson4121]

You're a role model.

[@aliceleopoldoesilva5958]

Well done!!

[@carmenpdl8918]

È una cosa bellissima! Io ho quasi 62 anni e vorrei tanto riprendere la danza, che ho sempre amato. Non mi interessa danzare in pubblico, mi piace la danza come disciplina fisica e artistica. Ora che so che esistono persone molto più in avanti di me con l'età che ancora praticano danza classica sono molto più incoraggiata a riprendere ad allenarmi

Spinal health? Oh this doughnut is going right to my spine :) My grandma is fit right - she's good at throwing a bucket of cold water at Jehovah's witnesses :)
