Even in the best-case scenario, ballet is extremely damaging to feet / legs, and thus isn't something someone could do their entire life. An 80 year old couldn't begin ballet as a new hobby for the same reason. Similar is true for other sports; they are incredibly physically demanding and use up the body. This is why most professional sports athletes retire by the age of 40. Sure, they can do it for their personal enjoyment, but wouldn't be competitive. Music, however, is different. | |
