I've danced for most of my life, but kind of started over with ballet as an adult. Took two years off and then made myself start from scratch with a really good teacher. Learning the art form as an adult is a totally different experience. My body can't do the things it could do 10 years ago, but I have discipline and persistance and an understanding of the process and the form that I lacked even in my early 20's. And it's very centering for me. I can't think of anything else when I do it, and so becomes really the only 3 hours during the week when I only do one thing.
I'd really encourage you to take classes if you're interested (especially since most teachers aren't uniform nazis with adults, and there are pretty skirts and pretty colors and other girls - like me - with big hips and non-ballerina bodies:) And the feet. If you've got good feet you should at least give them a chance to see what they can do:)
