Arabesque
- I think the arabesque is the hardest because you have to put your leg up so high, but I will do it.

Dance lover
- Dance is a lot of fun and the best part is that you can start at any age. I have danced since I was three and I am now 10. It is a lot of fun. People should really try it.

Fifth position
- In class you're taught exercises that make fifth position easier to learn so your body falls into it - they're called turnout exercises.

Ballet
- I am 14 and I have been doing ballet for many, many years, since I was 4. I am now doing my Intermediate and I know girls who are just joining my ballet class, so it's not too late to start ballet. The only thing is I would recommend not starting pointe work until your feet have been properly trained.

Oh my...
- They're all pretty easy since I've been practicing them for a few years but if I had to pick one, I'd definitely say either 3rd or 5th, probably 5th.

Sixth Position
- The 6th position is when your feet are parellel to the front.

Ballet
- I need to be able to do basic ballet to get into dance academy and I don't have time to go to a class. Should I just learn from the computer or what?
- —Guest Sapphire
I'm interested.
- I'm interested in ballet and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm kind of embarassed to talk about it with people because I seem all hardy to them but I really want to try. Would I still be able to start because I'm 10 (turning 11)?
