Question: Am I too old to start dance classes!?
I was thinking about joining a dance studio in a year or two!. So I'd be around!.!.!. lets say 19!.

If I joined a studio as a beginner, would I be put in class with a bunch of little girls or how would this work!? Is it too late for me to even consider it!? If I joined and was actually a good dancer and picked up on things well, would I moved up!? Are there even levels!? I know nothing about it so any information will help!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you're never too old to start dancing!
and besides, you're not old at all!.
i bet there will be tons of women your age in your class!.

and i think it depends on your dance studios if there are levels!.
in mine, we have certain types of dance for certain people!.
like we can't take lyrical unless we are intermediate in jazz and ballet!.
so really, it just depends!.


take a class!
you'll have so much fun!
good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It differs with different dance studios, but i think almost all of them will have adult classes which is always a possibility!.
yes there are different levels!. again it depends on the dance studio but if you were really really good you'd be moved up!.
check out the dance studio you are thinking about attending, talk to someone there a teacher or in my case the head of the studio, find out what level your at or how fast you pick things up, watch a few classes, if it looks to hard try the next level down!.

and you are never too old to start dance, there's this girl in one of my classes who's like a trillion years old!.
look into it because there's about a 2% chance that you would be in with a bunch of little kids (not that their bad or anything)!.

No! You are never too old to start taking dance!.
Lots of studios have beginner classes specifically for adults!. If you happen to join a studio that doesn't have adult classes, then yes, you probably will be stuck with the little kids!. But, you're right, if you pick up on things fast, you will be moved up and eventually get to where you'd like to be!.

It depends what dance school you go to but they normally put you in a little kid class which is really fun if u like little kids(im an assitant for a little kid class) if they dont they will probably put u in a beginner adult class this is ok too i love dance and u will too =D Www@QuestionHome@Com

omg i want to take lessons soon too!! i'm 16 and i think i might start next year!. You could probably get individual lessons if you didn't want to be put in a class with young people, or you could ask if there's any beginners the same age as you!. That's probably what i'm going to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You are definitaly not to old!
most studios have levels of dance!.!.!.!.(!.like beginner, intermidate beginner, advanced beginner,imtermediate,advanced interminite etc!.!.!.!.)
and most stuidos have adult classes so you would be with people your age not 6 year olds!Www@QuestionHome@Com

What kind of dance classes are we talking!? ballroom, ballet, tap!?

In either case, I'm sure you'll find beginning classes for adults so you won't be the only 19 yr old in class of 7 and 8 yr olds!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
