Take time to become better acquainted with your adult body before you begin to dance again. In your heyday, you might have had the skills of a prima ballerina, but time and aging can change your body. So before you embark on a rigorous training regimen, find out what your body likes and doesn't like. Taking up yoga or pilates can help you rediscover your flexibility and get you back into the swing of things.
Purchase new leotards, tights, ballet slippers and any other dance accessories that are designed to fit adults. Even if you can squeeze into your former attire, you'll fee more comfortable and confident in dance wear that fits you properly.
Set up a nutrition plan for yourself that will compliment your training. Ballet involves a series of resistance movement and some cardio exercises as well. This means that you could experience a metabolism boost. Just as an athlete does, you should be prepared to fuel your training so that you have the energy to make it through the day. Poor nutrition will inhibit your body's return to ballet so support yourself by eating well rounded meals and drinking plenty of water. It's a good idea to speak with a physician or nutrition if you have special needs.
Start off slow with your training by taking one or two lessons each week. As your body adjusts, you can add more. The last thing you want to do is overwhelm yourself with a hectic ballet schedule that will leave you overworked and discouraged. Also, don't be shy about taking lessons with young children. Like them, you have a lot to learn even if you've danced before. Take it all in stride until you're ready to move to the next level.
