It's only too much if you feel stressed out. For some people with true passion in dance, they don't mind the training as it is their life calling. However, everyone has their breaking point. The fact that you are asking shows that you are at your breaking point. Tell your parents that you have taken enough classes to know what you like. Drop the classes that you aren't that thrilled about and start concentrating on your favorites.

If you go into the auditions with an exhausted attitude, they may not be eager to have you join. You seem burnt out and that will reflect in your auditions. Be sure to keep yourself in check.

thank you for listing all of your wonderful extracurricular activities for us to read. If you're asking if it's too much, i think you have your answer.

You might want to lower it down a little! But if you don't mind it's okay!

Do you think it is to much ..? are you keeping up with all that ?

Remember you will still need relax and just chill out times too

wow, sounds like a lot going on for you.
you're lucky you can take dance classes though.
i want to take some lol

If it comes to asking then, yes it is too much. I would cut off the bottom paragraph and focus either on that or the top list. Remember to not stretch yourself too thin, you have plenty of time ahead of you! Besides, don't stretch your wallet too thin either, just a word of advice. Good luck!

Besides the fact that it is a pretty long list you gotta think about practice. You gotta practice for each of those classes to become good in those genres. So...do you have time to practice for all of them? That'll be the answer to your main question.

PS dont over-exert ur body too much and make sure u get enough sleep along w/a good diet.

I don't think you're doing to much.....i'm your age..... i want to do that much!
But sometimes it's too much with school!

If you enjoy it, then continue, but personally, I think it's a tad bit much. You don't have to take all theose classes to get into to Cirque Du Soleil, it's waht your'e born with.

seriously, why is this posted? you know its too much, your looking to show off or have people tell you how talented you must be. you know that this isn't possible to do without sacrificing your family, school, friends and anything else you might want to do that isn't dance. and where are your parents in this whole fiasco?

thats alot! but it doesn't matter as long as you can handle it =]]

It depends on you. Make sure you are still spending time with family and friends, keeping up your grades, doing your homework, and doing other hobbies. At some point in your life you will probably stop dancing and will want to do things like this. I would maybe limit yourself to what you love to do. I cut out tap this year because I felt I was too busy and would be better if I focused on other classes. It's better to do a few things well than many things sloppily, just remember this.

If you make Cirque de Soleil, you will most likely have to drop many classes for rehearsals and performances; same for all of the other things.

okay, so for the top list from sr. contempory down to the ballroom
it is not to much, as l ong as you are keeping up with schoool and you know all your routines.
now auditioning for the circus is okay, but i wouldnt go into commercials and acting for another year or so... just focus on all your dance stuff...

ya, i think u need to find out wat u rly love and do that, im not saying u cant do anything else but u need some focus

Well, what do you think? Can you keep up with it? Maybe drop a class that you just don't like. You have the answer, other people cant help much.
