Question: To late to start dancing!?
I'm 17 years old, and I'm about to start taking dancing, but I'm afraid its to late for me to go anywhere with it!. I use to do it when I was younger, and I was really good at it, and I loved it completely, but I stopped for a fear of being stigmatized, and embarassing my dad!. But now parents are encouraging me to do it, and I really want to dance, but is it to late for me to every go places with it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's never too late! As long as you dedicate a significant amount of time to it, you should practice before or after classes in your home!.
My dance teacher says age isn't really a major factor on becoming a good dancer!. It's true that some dancers started really young, but the bigger issue when it comes to age is flexibility!.!. it just takes more work and time!. Technique it's easier to learn when you're older cuz you are more aware of your body and you can control it better with your mind!. When your a kid and they correct you, you hardly ever listen, now your more responsible and you listen better!.
Guys often start to dance later than girls!. For society stigmas!.
If dancing it's what you want to do put your heart into it and you'll do great!
It's not age, it's not the body, it's not how many time you've been dancing!. It's the way the world works, if you put your heart in what you do you'll be the best!

No, it's not too late! There are many famous dancers, choreographers, and teachers that started after your age!.

Myself, I started about a half a year ago from a life of sitting around - no previous physical activity!. I've improved so much, and I continue to improve all the time!. I'm 17 as well!.

With your background, I'm sure you'll pick it up fast and do great!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
