i’m 14 and i’ve been doing ballet sense i was 5. this is my first year of pointe. i have a natural talent for ballet (so says my ballet teacher and my mom). And i really want to become a ballet teacher and go to a dance college. i really want to coment myself to compition ballet dancing. i know it would be hard work and endless hours of practice, but i’m completely willing to give up my time to it. i was just wondering how i could get started in it. and how to tell my mom of my dreams. also, the only dance places that do comptions are like an hour drive away (i go to a small town dance studio), would that be a problem?

thanks!
