With ballroom dancing you never stop learning!. Like even world pro's still have lessons and stuff!. Its hard to be a world champion but not hard to learn dance steps!. You are NO WAY too old to start!.

That depends on what you classify as "hard"!. It's definitely not too late for you to learn ballroom, you're actually pretty young compared to a lot of dancers, and there are people that start learning when they're in their late 20's or even later!. How hard it is could depend on how quickly you pick up the steps and technique, if you don't pick things up easily you'd have to work at it, which i guess would make it hard!. But I would definitely encourage you to give it a go, because it's heaps of fun, and since ballroom dancing can be done by people of all ages, you have heaps of time to learn!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lots of people are much older than you when they start to learn how to dance!. You're definately not too old!.

But, ballroom *is* hard to learn to do well, so be prepared for a lot of work if you want to dance it well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's never to late to learn!. It's good that you want to start young!. It isn't hard to learn, but it is hard to do it well!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You are NEVER too old to learn something! I know MANY people who have RETIRED (now we are starting to talk old!) who learned to dance!.
The earlier the better, but that does not mean you can be too old to do well!Www@QuestionHome@Com
