Position:Home>Dancing> Which dance do you think I should go for?


Question:I'm 12 years old (is this too old to start dancing?) and I want to start a dance class, but I'm not sure what type I should do. I'm leaning towards hip-hop, but I'm not sure. I'm not that flexible either, so I don't think I'd be able to do ballet.
By the way, which do you think is better, dance or gymnastics?
Thanks in advance!

For begginers... hip hop is the way to go. It is fun and is a fast paced dance. Just make sure this is your thing. Dance I would say is better becuase it isn't a scary. lol.
If you want to do ballet you might be able to find a class for begginers of all ages.
Ballet is VERY serious though, and you have to be deciticated. Happy Dancing and Good luck. You are never to old to start dancing! :)))

12 is not too old to start dancing... not even close. If you're leaning towards hip-hop, go for it - it's always best to follow your instinct!

I think dance is better than gymnastics (and I've done both). There is so much to choose from... hip hip, jazz, lyrical, modern, ballet, ballroom, and so on.

Good luck!

dance u will have fun there

just me
love maria

I am also twelve but I started when I was five, I think its fine to start at twelve its not like your eighty and cant bend over at all. You should try gymnastics first to get more flexible and then transition into dance, or keep doing both.You will be fine just have to do gymnastics then hip-hop of whatever dance you decide to choose!

1st it is not too old to start dancing i started at 3yrs old

2nd You should do hip hop, pop, or rap

3rd you should dance you can break your neck doing gymnastics

and you dont have to be flexible to dance

contempery it would help u to relax
