It's never too late to start something you have an interest or passion in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It isn't too late but it will be alot harder for you to learn!. you wouldnt be able to start of at point you would have to start at beginners level!. you don't really need to be flexible for ballet!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, it is not too late!. Zelda Fitzgerald started at 17!.!.!.why not you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your instructor was an idiot!. I taught gymnastics for a while!. You teach the student to eat properly!. Get away from anyone who says no!.

Never too late to start anything!. I went back to school three years ago, at age 46, for a second degree!.

Started speed training about 4 years ago!. I told my friend he needs to develope a program for older people!.

And I wasn't too flexible either!. Started yoga 7 years ago!.

You don't get flexible to do ballet, you do ballet to get flexible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its not too late!. However, it will be harder than if you had started earlier!. Being flexible is great, because it not only helps you it looks better, too!. Since you aren't that flexible though, just work hard and stretch every day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no it is notWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's never too late to start a dance class! The winner of So You Think You Can Dance had only been dancing for four years, and she beat people who'd been dancing since they were two years old! As long as you try, and NEVER give up, you'll be fine!.
btw, your gymnastics instructor was a sh*thead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
