of course you should!
there are adult classes in just about every dance studio so it's not embarrassing to be unexperienced because there are other people in the same situation as you! If it's something you want to do, do it now before it's too late!. You never know how much fun you'll have until you try! My friend's mom is 48 and taking ballet lessons--she loves it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

you are definitely never old!

when i was 14 i felt like i was too old for ballet, but i took a class
and realized that 14 was a crazy age to be thinking that i was too old!.

I know a 65 year old woman who dances ballet, and she is wonderful!. she started when she was 30, and now she teaches! she even does pointe work!.

look for an adult beginner class in your area, and try it out!. if you aren't sure after your first lesson, GO BACK! chances are, the second class will be easier, and you will remember more than you think!

After you get the hang of it, you will love ballet!Www@QuestionHome@Com

im much younger than you, but this year i am beginning ballet and i was also very intimidated by it because i have no experience!. Go online to expertvillage!.com and look at some ballet videos it helps!. also if you are going to take a class, take an intimate one because then the people there won't be too perfessional so you wouldn't feel uncomfortable!. Sooner or later, you can promote yourself to a more professional level of dance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I know how you feel about being too old!. But you are never too old to dance, or learn how!. I should know because in my dance class I feel really old because there are like really small people in my dance class, but you should go for it!. Take an adult class (though most of them will be at night I think after 9 at my dance studio) and have fun!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

of course no body to old to do anything if its your dream to do it do it go ahead you are the pilot of your own life but if you don't like it or your friends don't want you do do it number 1 if your friends make fun of you for doing that don't be friends with them and if you hate it don't do it any moreWww@QuestionHome@Com

I know that feeling too!. You see all the little kids doing all these Cirque De Soliel tricks and you would just hate to be standing next to them!. There are probably begginners classes mainly for your age group!. If you really want to just do it!. You'll regret it if you dont anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's possible that you are too old to take it seriously, but don't let that stop you!. I'm sure some schools may have classes for beginner adults!. Look it up and see!. I don't know where you live but here's just an example!.

I'm 26, married, professional taking a hip hop class!. Who cares!? As long as it interests you and makes you happy!. Worse comes to worse, if you don't like it, leave it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

definitely!.!.!.I am 32 and thinking of taking up a martial art!. I would just say that you should not expect to become a world class ballerina!. take it so you can cross it off your list of things "i wish I did"

you could try going to a class for people your age!. I'd say that stepping outside of your comfort zone is always a good thing and you'll realize how much you love it if you just get past the first class!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just do it!.
When your 38 you'll really regret not doing it!.
All you can do is try it!. At least that way if you fail (which you wont) you can still say you tried!.
Good for you!.
