It's never too late to get good at dancing! So long as your heart is in it, you've already got the hardest part of dance covered!.!.

I would recommend calf raises to heighten your jumps!.
-Stand with only the front of your feet on a stair and raise up onto Relevé and back down, even let your heels sink lower than the stair for added work!. This builds strength in your calves!. Do 5 sets of 15 once a day until you notice improvement in your height! You can do this in turn-out or with your feet parallel, it works out different muscles!.

Another work-out would be basic crunches, they strengthen your center so it's easier to balance while turning!. That way you can do multiple turns and beautiful turns in second!

also, squats do wonders for kicks!. The more strength you have in your quads, the faster and more precise your kicks will be!.

If your point could be better, I recommend picking up pencils with your toes, dropping them and repeating while you watch tv!. It strengthens your arch!

but always remember

don`t worry dancing isn`t easy , for you taking 4 dance ( i call cheerleading a dance yes) class's or so its not to late rmb everytime someone has a dream they work for it to come true and if you work hard enough you'll get it and as long as your taking your time to practice them and go over them and if you need help you ask thats all good because only 1 person out of 5 can ace it all so keep on going and grade 10 is not bad its a good start keep taking them and if you have another dream or this is your dream job make sure you have a back up one to take over if you don`t want to do its never to late :) and obviously theres NO CHANCE that your going to be bad within 3 years your going to suceed or atleast be better or something :) Nppp :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, you could get really good if you take enough of each of those classes per week!. If you only take one class of each style, you'll get better but not really good at any particular style!. Try to take at least 2 ballet, 2 jazz and 2 modern per week!. 1 cheerleading is probably okay, but most groups practice more often anyway!. That's great you want to be a versatile dancer! A lot of people focus on one type of dance only!. Happy dancing!Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you work hard, then of course you can be good!. For example, I do ballet!. There is a girl in my class who started as a sophomore!. She will be a senior this school year and she has turned into an amazing dancer since the time she started!.!.!.and she's even on pointe now!Www@QuestionHome@Com
