Answer #1

to be a ballerina. yes you can start at any age. being a pretty prima ballerina is a lot of girls dreams at one point. being a dancer takes a good amount of effort and training. its a fantastic way to express yourself! and no. it is not needed to be skinny and tall. being flexable is needed, stretch a lot like when your watching tv or something. good luck. hope you become a beautiful ballerina<3

Answer #2

Take classes.

Per this question: http://www.funadvice.com/q/is_it_to_late

you probably can’t become a professional….but, if you work hard, anything is possible if you’re very determined. From one book I read, it takes 40 hours / week, for about ten years, to become a master of something. So by the time you’re 27, you could be a master ballerina….to me, that’s still young enough to become a professional, but, you’ll have to also spend time doing other things (college, career to support classes, etc).
