How old is tooo OLD to be a dancer?

Question

am watching "so you think u can dance" and i cant help but wish i could learn to do (or atleast come close to doing) what they do.

am not talking about becoming a professional dancer, but ive always REGRETTED not ever taking part in ballet, tap, hip hop.. or any sort of dance classes! so do you think it would be TOO late for me to start now.

Answer 1

Of course!

You can find a local dance studio by yellowpages.com or the phone book, and once you find a dance studio, call them up or email them or contact them and ask if they have an 'Adult Beginner Class' or something of the sort. My studio does, and your's probably will too. If you don't find one at the first studio, don't give up! Keep looking.

Depending on what classes you take, you might need jazz shoes (I like Capezio) or ballet shoes (I like Bloch) and you'll probably want to invest in pink tight, a leotard and jazz pants or booty shorts, whatever you're more comfortable with.

You'll probably want to start stretching to limber yourself up, although the adult class will take it very easy at first with some simple stretched to help you.

Don't ever give up!

Answer 2

Many dance studios have an adult beginners class.  Call up a few studios, and check with them.  It is never too late to take any type of dance.  Once you start, you won't be able to stop!

Answer 3

it depends

Answer 4

don't expect to be a proffesional unless you were born with loads of god given talent...but never say never...i know a 50 year old who just started taking hip hop...haha shes pretty good...anybody can dance it just takes hard work and if you want it you can achieve it

Answer 5

It's never too late, unless, you have a wheelchair and bad arthritis. or you're dead. But you can definitely start now.

Answer 6

Answer 7

No way go for it!

Answer 8

i don't think so! you might find it really frustrating cause you will probably be very limited in your flexability but anyone can dance no matter their age.

Answer 9

WHEN ONE HAS ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE

Answer 10

It would be too late to be a pro dancer but since you don't want to do that then you will never be too old!

My Mum took up tap last year and she's 45 now. So ANYONE can start dance lessons :)

I wish you the best of luck.
