Ask Colin: learning the basics

Dear Colin,
I really want to become a good ballet dancer, I really do. My parents won’t put me in a school but I would like to learn from home. Could you please suggest some websites to visit to learn some dance steps?
Thanks,
Janelle

Dear Janelle,
Unfortunately it is not possible to learn how to dance from books or via the internet. Dance has to be taught one-on-one. If you do not learn the basics correctly you run the risk of injuring yourself and picking up bad habits, which will limit your future dance ability.
Best wishes,
Colin
