Question: Too late to start dancing [seriously]!?
I LOVE to dance!. I'm mainly geared towards hip-hop although I've never taken classes or anything!. Might I mention I am 15!. But anyways, my freshman year, I took a modern dance class, and I realized how interesting modern dance was to me!. I switched to a different school for the last three months of my freshman year, and now as an upcoming tenth grader, I signed up for modern dance 1 again because I don't feel that I learned all I could have as a beginner at my old school!. also, I've been watching So you think you can dance, and I see how good they all are, but they all seem to have started when they were younger! So I kind of get discouraged a little, but something tells me that it's not too late!. What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Anybody can start at any age!.!.!.and you don't have to start when you were little just to be a good dancer!.!.!.just look at SYTYCD winner Sabra (i think thats how you spell her name but im not sure) anyways she had only been dancing for fours years before she had audition!.!.!.you can do anything you set your mind to : ) Hope this HelpedWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's not too late for you, but if you're trying to reach the level of those dancers, you'll have to just practice twice as hard!. I am 21 right now and I am trying to get into dancing, so I'm signing up for classes!. It definitely helps for you to sign up for classes in school, but if you can afford it, you should sign up to a studio also, that way you're getting twice as much instruction and you can advance that much faster to where you want to go!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's never too late - if it's what interests you then go for it!. As far are breaking into 'the big time' I don't know --- tragically 15 is too 'old' for a lot of show time auditions but you can make a living without being on the big screen or stage!.

Do it if it makes you happyWww@QuestionHome@Com

No it's not at all because Sabra from So you think you can dance didn't have a lot of dance years and she won!. So if you want to take modern i would recomend taking ballet and jazz!. But for hip- hop just do jazz!. Hope this helps!. Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of course you can dance, anyone has the capability to dance as long as your heart is in it and you have a good teacher!

Sabra from last year's season of So You Think You Can Dance was only dancing for 3 or 4 years!.
