😁 after all the positivity and sound advice you have all given me I am not feeling old at all now. My next class is on Saturday so I will talk to my teacher then about the exams.

 I don't use any social media because of the negativity attached, so it's a breath of fresh air to be part of a forum with such positive helpful people. Thank you all again and look forward to future discussions. 

I am blown away with the response I have gotten here!! you guys are a real inspiration! thank you all so much for your advice and encouragement! I feel much more confident now. Thank you!! 

Colman, yes I think we are a rare breed here. good to know I'm not alone.  

I find my teacher to be excellent, thank you very for the advice. I feel confident now to go for the exams and not letting age be a factor, I think I missed the cut off point this year so I will have to wait until spring, but that's ok as I can work on my flexibility and be even more fabulous 😉 thank you all! 

Thank you very much Fix!

I am in County Wicklow in Ireland so not close to London. I will speak to my teacher and see what she recommends. Just didn't want to ask her any silly questions. I like the way you said "only" 39. that makes me feel better as most feed back I get from other places is that I am too old, so thank you for that!! 

Thank you, I love a challenge and will push myself hard ( not to the point of injury) I don't know my limits but am keen to find them. 

Hi,

 I am a 39 year old man and have always wanted to do ballet, I started an adults ballet class  last January and am absolutely loving it, only regret that I didn't start 30 years ago. I would like to do the Rad exams and am not sure if I am too old or would it be odd for some one my age to do it?
