Ballet for 8 years, quit for almost 2.. i was almost at company level and now i want to continue to

okay so im just trying to think about if this is possible. i want to get back into dance, ive kept up my flexibility but ive lost strength in my ankles and abs.. so i know i would need to take another ballet class or two before i go into prepointe then point?



how many years have you been in dance before you took point and did you take prepoint? what should i do to get a step ahead if i want to join ballet again in january?

Since you've been off of pointe for two years, most likely you've lost most of the strength in your ankles, and jumping into a pointe class once you start in January is not a safe idea. In most cases, you should take at least a year of multiple ballet classes (3 or 4 a week) and a prepointe class... maybe even longer. To give yourself a head start before you begin classes, make sure to do crunches and plies/releves (100x, once a day, at least) to regain muscle mass that you have lost.

Well, i took dance for 8 yr. before i started pointe. a long, hard, fun 8 yr. No, i didn't take prepointe, but i do take cecchetti. It's basically formal ballett that teaches you decipline, gives you strength in all the nessacary muscles, and is a very good way to get the proper ballett technique!we had to take two years of that and pass the exam before taking pointe. I think you could start again, but you'll have to work very, very hard. Good luck!
I think after 2 years, you've lost alot of muscles and everything, so it wouldn't be safe to go right onto pointe. Maybe take Grade 4/5/6 or whatever the last 2 grades you were in and pass before taking pre-pointe or pointe.
