Can you start dancing at 13??

Question

im 13 and i really want to start dancing. i started when i was 7 but had to give it up because i became ill and i only went for 3 weeks im thinking of starting again is it too late or have i still got a chance?

Answer 1

Yes, any form of dance you could start at your age but what is the chance you are talking about? Do you mean the chance of making a career of it? If so, it would depend on your potential for a start.

Answer 2

of course...you can always start dancing...didn't you see Sabra on So you think you can dance last year? She had only been dancing for one year.  It just takes dedication, a good studio, and love for the art!

Answer 3

Yes get to it!

Answer 4

Yea! its best to start at your age because its always good to start young. There are alot of places where u can start

Answer 5

of course! you can start dancing at any age.. just give it your best and you will suceed.

Answer 6

as long as u have a will... u will accomplish whatever u have in mind... but what sort of dancing are u seeking to practice? anyway... as long as u're not scared of retrying ur first unfinished attempt... and sychologically fit... there is absolutely no problem unless u r scared or have a sychological problem

Answer 7

Sure. Even some actors and actresses start at 13. Go for it. I did ballet once, when I was 6 or 7 but I stopped because ballet just wasn't me. Make sure that dance is something you really want to do. If you're not really sure, just try it. Do a year or 2 months of dance lessons to see if you like dancing. Which form of dance do you plan on doing?

Answer 8

Go for it!!!

Ive been dancing at a proffesional ballet studio since I was 3...Im now 14 :)

What I have learned is...If theres a will, theres a way....corny saying but all so ture in dance!

If you want it...make yourself have it!!!

The only thing is...in an art like dance...YOU NEED PASSION!! you have no passion???, dont even bother! :P

Good Luck with whatever you choose to do!

Answer 9

Certainly you can start at 13, since your body should be still soft enough to gain the required flexibility for dancing. However you will have to train hard to make up with those who started earlier.

Answer 10

yes of course!

Go girl - It's never too early and never too late!!! Most important, listen to your heart - does it want to dance??!!

Answer 15

i started when i was 12 . i'm 13 now (i'll be 14 in nov), and my teacher thinks i am already for pointe.

so, sure go for it.

you might not get on pointe for years though depending on how strong flexible and in shape your body is.
