Answer 1

The main thing is to make sure you are flexible and strong especially since you are going back on pointe - it sounds like you did keep your body in shape though and that's good. Don't rush into ballet but don't be lazy about it either. You will be surprised at how fast it comes back. At age 16 and 5'7" you should not grow much more if at all. Your height is NOT too tall for a ballerina - Balanchine loved tall women for his ballerinas. I've danced with several women that tall and taller. If your are dancing with a male partner your IDEAL weight should be no more than 125 lbs and preferably 115 or less, unless your partner is built like a bull - what really matters is techique for lifts. If you can jump and all your partner has to do is balance you - things will look great and it will be easy. I've had 135 lb partners that seemed easy to lift like they had springs in their legs and I've danced with 110lb women that were poor jumpers and I literally had to lift off the floor. If you are not doing lifts in your pas de deux then you can carry a bit more weight, but don't let weight be that big a factor in your enjoyment of ballet. Most ballerinas wind up dancing as part of the ensemble anyway. I wish you good luck...

Answer 2

You are a little tall for a ballerina , especially as you may still get a bit taller. BUT you are not too tall for modern, jazz, or tap. The height thing is because ballerinas wear point shoes, which make them three to four inches taller, You will be close to six feet tall enpointe. Most male dancers are not that tall, but some are. Even if your weight it perfect for your height, you will be too heavy for some of the guys to partner or lift. DO not give up dance, there are many different kinds of dance companies and a good foundation in ballet is essensial.
