18 - too late to start dancing?

Question

I'm eighteen years old and have absolutely no dance experience at all. But I've become obsessed with dancing. I have some friends who've taken years of classes in jazz, contemporary, hip hop, and I would love to learn. What I'm scared of is that maybe I'm too old to start dancing. I have no flexibility, no coordination, no rhythm -- which is exactly why i want to learn. but is it too late???

for anyone who knows --

are the beginner's dance classes at UCI legit?

Answer 1

It's never too late to start dancing at any age. Unless you want to dance ballet for major company as a prima ballerina.  Like you I had no coordination and rhythm - although, I was a bit flexible - and had started at 25.  I worked 4 times harder to catch up, and was able to catch up shorter than 2 years. I was taking dance 40 hours a week. So, what I'm basically saying is you get what you put in to work. UC Irvine is a legit school for dancing.

So, it's up to you to be brave. I would guarantee you, you will love it. There will be some frustration which is normal, and which mean you cared. Put a lot of work in it - not only physically but also academically - and you'll get there.

Answer 2
