Question: Learning to dance when your 14!?
i have this huge {SECRET} passion for ballet!. I haven't told anyone because i think i'm too old to learn and fairly Un-flexible!. But I can't help it, i want to learn so bad!. I have tons of friends who dance and they always complain about having to do ballet (because its the foundation) and they'd rather do all that jazz and hip-hop crap!. personally i think ballet is the most beautiful, and i know i could ask them to help me learn, but they've all been dancing since 2 years old and i don't think they'd understand!. i want to know if there is any hope for me to still learn, even though im 14!? i don't want to just join a class!.,,, Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wouldn't worry about your age!. I started taking ballet when i was 11 (13 now) and it was definitely difficult!. I was put into a intermediate class and knew nothing about ballet!. But it got easier and my teacher was a great help!. I soon surpassed levels and was in higher classes then people who had been taking it all there life!. Right now I'm in a class with someone who took dance since they were 4!. It takes time and you should try a class!. So don't get frustrated when you can't get something!. A lot of girls (and boys) at my studio dislike ballet!. I still love it!. It builds strong technique for other classes!. I took ballet before i took jazz and lyrical and I'm just as good in those classes from the ballet back round!. Well i hope this helped and everything goes well for your dancing!. You should really try!. Love Dance!.

dancing requires no age!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know it may feel like you have to start dancing at the age of 4 if you want to have any chance of being a dancer, but the truth is anyone can start dance at any time!. There are classes for all ages and abilities!. Maybe you won't become a profession ballerina, but if you get into some classes, your passion will translate to skill/talent and you'll likely be able to progress quickly!. Please don't feel discouraged or embarrassed about wanting to start up ballet at the age of 14!. Seriously, it's not too late!. Some people don't try ballet until they're adults!. Don't let this become something you'll regret not doing when you're older!. Enjoy being young, and follow your passion!Www@QuestionHome@Com
