Position:Home>Dancing> I'm 13 and would like to start contemporary/Modern dance. Is it too late?


Question: I'm 13 and would like to start contemporary/Modern dance!. Is it too late!?
I have no dance experience!. I did ballet when i was 4, but who didn't!? I would like to try contemporary but would this be too hard to start off!? Should I try something like Jazz first!?

Thanks =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

well i'm 14!.
i just started dancing about 2 months ago!.
i was taking a jazz/hip hop class, but i didn't like it!.
so i switch into a turns and technique class hoping that i could learn the same thing as in jazz!.
because i want to be able to take lyrical (which is just like contemporary) but i have to be an intermediate dancer!.
they won't let you on if your not!.
and they are really good!

so i think you should try taking jazz or ballet first!.
so you can learn your turns and jumps and stuff like that!.

have fun and good luck! :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

NO!!! I actually quit dance just this year and i am 12 ok so i quite dance and you want to start but my point is that i am 12 and you are 13 you can totally start dance and I started with jazz and then i did jazz and Lyrical(my favorite dance) or you could do hip hop but the main thing is, is that If I were you I would take jazz even if you want to move onto a higher level of dance!.!.:) I hoped i helped

Contemporary is hard, ecpesually when you haven't danced before!. NO its not to late to start but maybe try jazz and modern and ballet before Contemporary as that's a mix of all of those types of dance!. If you do ballet you can defiantly do anything else, try other dances fro a couple of terms and then go on to Contemporary, its really great but hard!.

good luck hope you make the right choise

no no no!! it is not too late to start :) i would suggest taking either ballet or jazz just so you can get the technique!. i pretty much started dancing when i was 13 too and i am SOOO glad i did!. its the best thing ever :) so ya, um just take some kind of technique class along with the contemporary/modernWww@QuestionHome@Com

I didnt try ballet when i was 4!.!.i did it when i was 21 and loved it!.

13 is such a young age!. THey have begginers classes for all levels!. You should try dancing to music that you love!. So if you love jazz then yes start with jazz!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Modern is the easiest to catch on to!. I personally wouldn't suggest started jazz first from your background!. But Modern would be fun! Www@QuestionHome@Com
