Question: Am I too "old" to start dancing lessons!?
I'm twenty and I've never been to a dance studio before and my coordination really sucks!. =( But I really want to try to take dancing lessons, but I feel that I'd be really embarrassed if I did start to go and nothing would work and I'd need to give up it!.
So, any advice if I should start or it'd be better to find something else!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your NEVER "too old"!! I'm only 5 years younger than you and I think you'll be fine!. My sister is 13 and she has no rhythm at all!.!. she couldn't move to the beat to save her life! I signed her up for a hip-hop dance class and now only weeks after being in it she has greatly improved! I say who cares what ppl think! As long as you laugh at yourself when you do something a little embarrassing the rest of the class won't be thinking that your some dork trying to be cool!. Truthfully, those ppl are in those classes b/c they have the same problem too!. If it makes you happy then go for it!.!.life's to short to not do it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm sure you've heard this way too many times, so I'm sorry; however, I'm going to say it again because it is the truth: There is no such thing as too old!. If you're interested in something, you should try it, regardless of your age or skill!. There are classes in every style, for every age, and every level!. Give them a try!. Even if you find that you're not that great at dancing, if you enjoy it, it's worth it and if you find that you don't enjoy it, you won't spend your life regretting not trying dance and thinking what if!?
Go for it and have fun!
(I recommend you try belly dancing!. I've been doing it for a year and it is so fun!.!.!. you get to really feel the music, and move in ways that make you look and feel so feminine and sexy!. I just danced in a student night at a Greek restaurant and the dancers aged in range from 16 - 65 and of every different bodytype!. You might find that you'd enjoy it too!)Www@QuestionHome@Com

you should definately do it!.
there are heaps of adult beginners classes out there!.

i was worried about the same thing but then finally i started a dance class this year and loved it! its so much fun!.
and theres ladies at my dance school in their forties that have only just started!.

If the "Old" people in Dancing With the Stars can learn to do some great dancing- anybody can- especially a 20 yr old!. Get out there and have some fun!. And if you don't like it, then at least you tried it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am guessing you mean like, decently simple dances so you aren't completely confused if someone asks you to Tango!.!.!.

No, it is not too late, you can and should while you're still young!. =)
