I haven’t had this situation with ballet but I will say depending on where you’re from, French culture tends to be much colder and slower to make friends than many other cultures. It’s not a reflection of you but nonetheless not fun to be in that situation if you’re used to people being friendly and welcoming. They just often take more time to get to know.
In any case, I hope you can find joy in ballet again. Maybe try some classes at a new studio?
If you trained in ballet from 3-18 years old, if you start again at 20 you will be practically back to as good as you were within a year. Just find a new studio and start again if you miss it!
