Can you learn to dance or do you have to have the natural talent?

Question

Okay, so I'm not a good dancer. In fact I feel like when I dance I look stupid. So in other words I can't dance lol. I'd love to be able to dance and take lessons but the thign is do you have to have this natural talent do that? i've heard that even if you don't have the talent for singing, you can still become a great singer, but with way more work. Is it the same for dancing? I am very talented but I'd love to be able to dance. How can I even find out how I look when I dance?

Answer 1

it depends on what kind of dance.  usually modern dancing you can learn and pick up pretty fast, and ballet may be easy if you've got the basic stuff (flexibilty, strength) worked up.  however i do know that chinese classical dance is very rigorous and you just have to have the form and style in order to perfect it.

Answer 2

you can get dance lessons and to see how you look try looking in a full sized mirror good luck

Answer 3

No, you don't need to know how to dance to be a great dancer. In fact I learned how to dance myself, and i'm a great dancer myself. It just takes time to learn. Try to find a place to take hip-hop or jazz. Trust me, you'll end up like any other dancer out there. :)
