its fun if you want it to be. you do barre work, which can be boring; but if you enjoy dancing in general it is. its not too late; i started when i was 12. you wont be put with 4 year olds, trust me lol.

if you have any more q's ask me [:

well depending on where you live it probably isn't to late. I love it!!! I've been doing it for about 8 years. It is really good exercise.

i love ballet, it's great excercise ( even though most people dont think dance is excercise) and it's a sport where its never to late to start... i started in fourth grade and loved it i went on pointe at age 12 and fell in love... just beware that because you are starting later you might want to take a more relaxed teen class where there is not so much pressure at first... hope you have fun, and i hope that this helps!

You already asked a similar question, but I'll answer the same: try hip hop. It might be too late to take ballet, unless you don't want to go on pointe.

Absolutely! Give it a try! It's never too late to start. If you want to become a professional ballerina, then you might be a little old to start ballet, but if you just want to learn something new, any time is a good time.
Ballet is a wonderful basis for any dance or any sport because it builds up balance, flexibility, posture, etc. Did you know that even professional football players learn ballet to give themselves an "edge" on the playing field? It's true!
Ballet can be a lot of fun and it can also be a lot of work. It depends on what kind of class you take. Traditional ballet is usually done to classical music, but there are also more modern classes that use more modern music. It will also depend on how often you go to class. If you take it once a week, it won't be too hard, but if you want something more intense, you can probably go every day.
Good luck and have fun and if ballet isn't your thing, lots of dance studios offer other kinds of dance, so check those out too!

Ballet is an excellent thing to do. It helps with strength, flexibility, and lots of life tools like determination, taking criticism and applying it, and you also learn how to move to music. It is both fun and very challenging, and it is NOT too late to start! Go for it!

Just a warning: You may find it is harder than you thought it woulld be and be tempted to quit a couple months in, but don't quit! Push through it!
