If you've ever wondered: is it too late to start ballet? Watch this video.

Here's the story of how I'm starting ballet in my 20s as an adult beginner. I'm sharing how I overcame stage fright, imposter syndrome, perfectionism & major body image issues. At 5 I fell in love with ballet. At 17 I was told I was already too late and that I'd never be good enough. At 27 I realized it's NEVER too late and started pursuing my dance dreams despite the odds.

If you're worried that it's too late to start learning how to do ballet in your 20s or older, please know that it's NEVER too late. Don't let anyone hold you back. Thanks for supporting my journey!

🍓 HI, I'M VERONICA VICCORA

Hi there! I'm Veronica, welcome to my beginner dance journey. When I was 17, I was told by a teacher that I would never be a ballerina. I let that thought control me for YEARS but now, in my late 20s, I moved to New York City and I'm finally starting ballet late. This is a space for me to document the ups and downs of learning how to do ballet in my 20s and show anyone that it's never too late to live your dreams.
