Hi!

Its definitely not too late! I started ballet lessons at 15!.!.!.and now I'm a ballet teacher, doing ad hoc ballet and modern dance performances!. You can read my dance story on my ballet blog: http://dancingballet!.blogspot!.com

Now there are lots of studios that have adult ballet classes so its really easy to find a class suitable for you!.

If you don't know whether you're good for dancing, just take up the challenge and try it! You won't know until you've tried something yeah!? =P I feel that to be a good dancer, you need 10% talent, 10% luck, 80% hardwork, and 200% passion! So go for it =DWww@QuestionHome@Com

If you're a guy, you're definitely not too old - in fact some would say you're the perfect age to start, especially if you're athletic!.

If you're a girl, then I'm afraid it's unlikely you will ever dance ballet professionally - unless you have a ton of natural talent!. However, ballet isn't the only dance style in the world!.

You could consider modern or contemporary dance!. What about flamenco, or belly dancing (both of which can be danced in cabaret and offer lots of travel opportunities)!? Ballroom and Latin can also be danced professionally!.

You still have lots of options, just keep an open mind!

you can never be too old to start anything, but if you are going to join it would be smart for you to rent some kind of ballet basic movie so you dont just jump in too deep!. also you should stretch as much as you can!. you may get frustrated when you are at the classes, but everyone does!. even if youve been dancing for 10 years like me!. theres always something new that you learnWww@QuestionHome@Com

What ever gave you the idea that you are too old to learn anything new!? Don't they allow kids under 18 at your school!? Don't they have colleges for people older than you!? Learning is something you do ALL your life!. Why not dance!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

While many dancers have been doing that for years, there is no reason why you can't learn!. However, ballet tends to favor small bodies and this is something that you should know from the start!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
