"Ballet Dancers Dream?" This question is in the thoughts of many young dancers. I certainly dreamed to become a ballerina when I was 11.

My name is Odette. Over the years, I found myself in every dance studio, preparing each pair of pointe shoes and performing on many different stages. Then, I became a professional ballet dancer. And, I still am.

I went from being at a local dance school to a world-class top vocational dance school.

But it did not come easily. I practiced, I trained, I auditioned. I worked my hardest to reach the goal of so many aspiring dancers.

Ballet Passion

Since my first few ballet classes in the studio, I have always remembered the enjoyment it brings. Having a passion for ballet is so important for dancers.

The legendary dancer Martha Graham once quoted, “Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.”

It is a magnificent feeling to perform on stage and fulfill your passion.

More About Me, Odette...

I was just an ordinary girl born without any special privileges. My parent's were not dancers and nor were my family much involved in ballet.

I began as a gymnast. I competed in many competitions and won 14 medals. But I had to choose between ballet or gymnastics, as I could only commit to one.

So, I stuck with the dance and from the age of 11, I won a scholarship to one of the world's most famous ballet schools.

I worked hard and trained there for many years, becoming Head Girl and winning both academic and dance prizes. As a trainee, I also went onto win a solo competition, two years running, and danced one of the world's oldest and most prestigious Companies.

I continue to dance in a professional company and my way of 'giving back' is, with this website, to help youngsters develop to be the best dancers they can be.

Feel free to write in and tell me if I have helped you. This is a great motivation for me.

I will do my best to give you guidance in the most understandable and attainable way.

You can talk to me and ask me questions (go to my Ballet Guide Blog here for exactly how).

Welcome and contact me anytime.

Keep this guide website bookmarked and share with your friends. Classical dancing can sometimes be a harsh world.

You may need a friend to turn to when you can't turn to you other friends.

Odette will always be there for you.

DO NOT lose this one in a million Guide.
