Hey! Of course you're not too old!!

I started dancing at 13 and my passion was all I needed to push me through! There are 2 types of drives: purpose-driven and slave-driven!. As long as you have a dream or passion to go after, you can do it! My passion pushed me to work harder, and working harder made me improve, and improving made me the best in my class!.

Here, this is my ballet teacher's story, she's a late starter too! Read it! http://dancingballet!.blogspot!.com/search!.!.!.

And here's another video by Anaheim Ballet you should watch as well! http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=PZoAGnrdw!.!.!.

Personally, I dance ballet, contemporary, jazz and hip hop!. I absolutely love ballet most of all, of course, but I definitely appreciate other genres of dance!. Many people started when they were young but as I started dancing when I was 13, and only started taking ballet classes NOW when I'm 15, I lack the strong foundation as compared to the other dancers in class!. But as long as you chase after your dream and work hard, nobody can stop you!. Your parents might not support you now, but prove to them your passion and they will support you soon enough! You just need the motivation and headstart to get you going!.

I'm going to work extremely hard to prove to my ballet teachers that I CAN go for the Grade 8 exam next year (even if I'm struggling a little to catch up in class as I'm not used to everything)! And if I can be so determined to prove my teachers wrong, you can prove your parents wrong too!

You have a purpose and it will drive you!. Just follow your heart and I'm sure you'll make the right choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
