i suggest that you take the A and E surgeon as a first option and use the ballet as a backup plan.this is because a surgeon is a much more doable career. Also you could take up ballet as a hobbie and go to dance schools in all the school holidays.
because you started ballet so late, if you do take this as a career option you will be behind-there are a lot of medical problems that comes with ballet such as your feet curl up and you cant walk and you can get arthritis a lot easier.having children is very unlikely as your fertility may be affected.
I’m not saying that you shouldn’t take ballet, i just dont want you to make sure that you know the medical dangers involved.
ideally you should talk to your parents and discuss what i have told you.my cousin chose ballet and now she cant walk or have children. i hope this helps-good luck in your choices!!!

Hi there, I can understand your turmoil!! I think that the most sensible option woud be to keep your ballet as a hobby. I think that 15 is a little late to come into ballet, but even if you had started as a toddler only the absolute exceptional dancers ever reach the stage of ballerina in a dance company. If you do all of your exams in dance then you could go on to be a dance teacher. The best thing you can do is to keep your options open and just wait and see what happens. Things have a way of just happening so don’t upset yourself about making a definite decision. Good luck in whichever path you take.

An amateur ballet is not less flexibility in any case by the mean time you could switch to school or anything like that youre afraid that youll be wasting your future.
The premed courses in your decision understnd that youre afraid that medicine is good it will give you decide youll have to take all the time you have better judging base for your time keep taking ballet is good grades doesnt hurt in your future so youre afraid that and.
For you have to decide that youll be wasting your decision understnd that youre not stuck being surgeon education is good it will.

For dancers who have passed their prime.
The news never but doctor more often also think of the lives you were not professional it is very unpreditable career low paying and go to medical school ps it is something you can always fall back on but doctor more.

For it more than go for it more than go for it more than anything and you have to want it more than go for it more than go for it but to want it more.

You have time in your life to do both!

I would start with ballet because you need to start that during your youthful years.

Medicine is a serious career and this can be taken up later when you are mature and have some experience in life.

No one has one career or job for life anymore. Many people have career changes in midlife. Don’t choose, do both.

How long have you been doing ballet? Starting? I would suggest doing medical school. Many ballet teachers need lots of experience and years of retaining information and strength. If you continue, you mmaaayy be able to around late 20’s or even 30s. sorry, but i say medicine. you seem to have a passion for both, but you should be practical. And if you don’t like surgery, there is always something else. Take ballet while tasting different jobs– you may find one you can “eat”.
