Question: I'm 22yrs old, Am I too old to start dance/aerial acrobatics!?
I've always loved to dance but have only done tap and belly dancing!. I would love to get into ballet dancing!. I've also really loved aerial acrobatics, they are just so amazing and beautiful!. I am especially interested in the aerial silks and straps!. I don't want to be a competative ballerina, like in those schools and I don't want to make a career out of ballet!. But I would love to learn a great deal about it!. I would like to make a career out of the aerial acrobats if possible though!. I'm extremely interested in Cirque du Soleil and I understand that you need to be highly trained and experienced to join!. I've also been athletic through the years and played volleyball and cheerleaded as well (some background info)!. Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
