Hi:)

For years I have wanted to get into aerial silks/acro, but my parents have never really been that supportive of it. But now I've finally convinced them to take me along to trial a few classes at a school, which I will be training at for 8 + hours for a week if I join, with a max of 12 hours, cos I can only train in weekends, as I dance everyday during the week. So do you think I could look at becoming proffessional every though I'm 15? Or have I left it to late?

Background info:

I started dancing when I was 6 - but only started to take it seriously when I was 9. I do ballet, jazz, lyrical and I also compete as a soloist/in groups, so I'd like to say I'm alright dancer, which I think could help with aerial/acro. Also I have pretty good flexibility on my right side (left side is getting there), I can do all the basics such as splits, scorpian, tilt, leg mount, etc.. And I also teach a little kids acro/stretch class, technique class and jazz class.

So do you think I will be able to look at doing aerial/acro seriously? And also what do you wear to a aerial silks/acro classes (plus theres also gymnastic classes, stretch and hand balance classes I will be doing all on the same day) so what would you wear? To dance I usually wear a crop top with bootie shorts, leotard or unitard.. So would wearing crop top/bootie shorts be alright?

Thanks, soz its soo long;p
