But, the truth is, there are some major benefits to starting (or returning) to ballet as an adult. Here are five awesome reasons why adults should step up to the barre and get ready to dance. 1.Your bones are fully formed. Once the bone reaches complete fusion, we’re done growing! On average, the long bones of males and females stop growing between the ages of 18 and 21. The bones of a growing child or adolescent are, therefore, weaker than the surrounding tendons and ligaments- the bone can’t handle the stress and a fracture is often the result. Adults, by comparison, are more likely to suffer a soft tissue injury than a fracture. But, accidents still happen. And, overuse injuries are common across the ages- so don’t overdo it! you are starting free of injury, and without any nagging pains from past dance related injuries. Lucky you! 2. You have other responsibilities. Let’s face it, no one has time to get hurt. And, as adults, we generally have a multitude of obligations outside of the dance arena. Because of this, adults tend to be more aware of their limits, and can be more patient with their progress. Adult ballet students are less likely to take unnecessary risks (which can lead to avoidable injuries). And, it may surprise you to know, that the dance life of adult ballet students can sometimes be longer than dancers that started when they were 3. An adult’s understanding of the importance of staying healthy means you can potentially dance for the rest of your lifetime! 3. Adults learn faster, and grasp new concepts on a deeper level. Adults are more cognitively developed, so they learn faster. Visualizing imagery, for example, comes more naturally to the adult mind. With more life experience to draw on, adults can take their past experiences and relate them to new information- allowing for a faster rate of mental modeling. Understanding the intricacies of each step is more important to an adult. They tend to ask more questions, challenge new information- and that is a very good thing! It allows the instructor to have the chance to delve deeper into the intricacies of the steps- and, I don’t think there’s one ballet instructor that wouldn’t appreciate that! 4. Adults can appreciate their ballet time more. Time is valuable to an adult, so time spent on the pursuit of a personal goal is taken seriously. You’re there because you want to be, not because mummy stuck you in a class. And, not because you’ve been doing for so long you forgot what your goals are (or even if you have any with regard to ballet anymore). Adults seek it out, they want to be there, so they're going to make the most out of their time in class. 5. Adults are independent. You are capable of getting yourself where you want to go. You aren't dependent on anyone else to get you to or from class. You can choose where, when, and how you want to learn ballet. You can choose which method, or which instructor you feel most comfortable with. Adult ballet students have an enormous amount of freedom compared to their youthful counterparts. And, you deserve every bit of it! So, let’s put those slippers on! Let’s step up to the barre, take our first position, and get going! The dance floor is waiting for you.
