Im 24 male who started ballet a few months ago. Ballet for me has always been a childhood dream but I was not allowed the opportunity. As an adult I have now the freedom to express myself in a way that I was not allowed as a child. I find that the two beginners classes a week are pushing me to exceed more than I had expected and Im really happy with that. Everyday my body is in pain from classes and at home exercises but in the end I know it will be worth it for when it comes time for me to perform.
