No you're not too old!. I had a friend who started when she was 14!.

My suggestion is to talk to your parents and call around to a few studios in your area!. See if you aren't able to meet with some of the teachers and sit in on a couple of classes!.

Most studios are more than happy to work with you!.

I would like to warn you though!. You are at an age where you are becoming and adult so your body isn't as flexible as it was when you were a kid!. Dancers have to stretch and keep their body worked out everyday!. You're not too late to start ballet but you are late so you will have to really put in the extra hard work if this is something you wish to do!.

Good luck and happy dancingWww@QuestionHome@Com

no your never too old!! i too started ballet lessons when i was younger and then i stopped because i didn't like it : (!. but since i moved i started back up and now im doing jazz, hip-hop, tap, and ballet!. (im going to start pointe next year!) im going to be 13 next year too and im just starting to do ballet!. i suggest that you start stretching right away!. you will probably start in a lower level but you could move up!. make sure you really put a lot of effort into it because sometimes it can get a little frustrating!. like when you cant do your turns, or you cant do your splits, or you just cant land those leaps!. STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH or if you dont you will pull a muscle!. Start ballet you should really try it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

no your not my dancing school takes kids from 4-40 well i dont think know one really would want to do ballet at 70 well u get what i mean!. i have been doing ballet for 6 yearrs and there are new commers older than a 13 joining!. when its your first dad dont be shy because thats how i was and eventualy little groups formed all around me!. due to me being quiet i am a loner in ballet but i dont let that overcome me i just focuse on what i want to do and try to impress people as i do and they go woah!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is never too late!. i'm 15 and i just started Ballet and i've moved up to grade 5!. Granted it'll take a lot of hard work but the results r worth all of d effort!. my parents did object @ 1st saying dat i'm 2 old!. but i begged them to giv me a chance to try it out 4 a month 1st so here i am, enjoying my classes!.!.hoped i helpedWww@QuestionHome@Com

No! Do what you want!. Just look for classes!. You might have to do it with kids for awhile, but you'll learn faster than them so you'll probably move right ahead (:Www@QuestionHome@Com

your NEVER to old to take ballet classes!. You may not want to take a compeition class yet!. Start out little and gradually increase the amount of classes you take!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
