yes! height shouldn't matter. as long as you're willing to put in the work, have fun, and are passionate about it... it shouldn't matter how tall you are (because you aren't that tall to begin with lol). good luck!

I'll put it this way, in 5th grade I was 5"6' and I was a dancer. You can totally dance! If anything, you have an advantage! But the only down side is you might be put in the back if you're in a class. That happened so many times to me haha.

DONT STUNT YUR GROWTH! EAT YOUR MEALS

Dont EVER put any restraints on yourself! If you want to pursue something...Go and get it!

Good Luck...

Not at all!
Why I've seen some ballet dancers that were about 5'8" and were amazing!
Height & weight doesn't matter :)

hey there
im 5"3 too and im average height.
height doesnt matter, its how you dance that does :]
good luck hunnie =]
xx

no way jusy dance and be happy.

your height really doesnt matter as long as you know waht your doing you wont look stupid so dance who cares how tall you are

I've danced ballet and ballroom with women over 6' tall....don't worry about height. 5'3" at age 11 you are not tall at all.

your actually kinda short.
dance favors tall people
