    i am a young teenager and have many different interests and not a ton of money is it possible to learn from home (like off youtube) and be able to go anywhere with a dancing career? i take a once a week class but that is it i also do musical theatre so that has some dancing in it as well

    Yes you can learn off Youtube, but the main problem is that if your doing (for example) Grade 7 ballet, and your watching a YouTube clip be wary that people do get things wrong, so you might some steps wrong. But I watch YouTube clips about stuff like arabesques and I’ve seen improvement.
    Hope this helps you :)

    Yes you can, but just as a hobby.

    Bear in mind that if you want a career in ballet, you would need to have a proper experienced teacher.

    But if it’s just for fun, yes youtube can be helpful. Don’t go straight to the hard stuff though.

    Beyond learning basic terms and positions on youtube it would be impossible to become a professional. Having a qualified teacher and the right facilities and tons of time,practice, performance are key! I’d find the nearest professional company that has a school go there and chat with the teachers see if there are any scholarships available to help you out!! You can try to find a part time job to pay for classes too! If you just want to do ballet at a rec level again go find a ballet school in your area and talk to the teachers see if they can help you out!! Best of luck!!
