I hate socialising and I'd rather lern on my own but I'm not sure , im clueless :S and is it too late im 13 ?

Answer 1

Try to find dance videos online because there are not many hip hop and breaking studios around and if there are they're probably not good.Or try to learn from someone that you kno can dance and is patient.

Answer 2

It's never too late :)

Have more faith and confidence in yourself! If you're learning to dance because you want to be more social-friendly then I suggest hip hop, it's cool and funky. And it's to your own style and probably more suitable to the dance floor.

Ballet is more technical dancing, develop your technique and everything. And break dancing takes a lot of control, strength and quite a lot of work. So if you're aiming to just look good on the dance floor, I would suggest hip hop or jazz funk.

But if you want to start dancing, go for any style of dance you want to as long as you're happy with it. There are always beginners in a class, we all understand that. I have experienced being the worse dancer in the class but after you get through that heavy layer of self conscious-ness in you then it'll be fine.

Good luck! :)

You'll do great.

hello,

i cant dance either so i know how you feel - and i want to!

but hey, it doesn't mean you should feel embarrassed so just remember that as long as you're having fun, then there shouldn't be a problem

if you want to learn to dance, then the best way would be to pop along to your local gym and i bet they have dance lessons - u don't need to be amazing, you just need to enjoy it and have fun :)

as to what type, it really depends on you.if you like classical stuff, then i suggest ballet, but if you re more in to things like rap then id go for street dance, or break dancing etc

have fun and good luck - its never to late to learn anything!

:)

Answer 4

Do you have any friends or relatives who can dance-maybe you could ask them for a few lessons in private?

Answer 7

I used to be a hopeless dancer too. But then I started belly dancing. This helped me to feel and move with the rhythm of a song better, and although belly dancing is really my thing, I can dance at parties and feel confident that I look good. If you can't dance, it's likely either a lack of rhythm or a lack of confidence, or both. If you are a girl, belly dance is super fun and gives you a lot of confidence, although it's not really a 'party' dance. I would suggest just plain hip-hop rather than trying to breakdance. Breakdancing is not really for beginners, from what I've seen. Hip-hop will help you to develop some basic skills and teach you to follow th music, and you can branch out from there. Happy dancing!

Answer 8

It's not too late to do anything. Ever heard of the saying, 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks'?... NOT TRUE. You can do anything if you want it bad enough and if you put time into.

Break dancing sounds cool but involves a lot of body control and being tight, like in cheerleading. You could even take private lessons if you want if you don't like socializing. There is always a way.

Answer 9

You know, any type of dance will help you improve timing, movement and technique etc.

I was a bit of a rubbish dancer as a younger kid, and after ballet tap and jazz I would say I'm good now :) not to be big headed.

I could probably pick up other dance styles from the skills ive learnt already.

Also, I might add that break dancing needs a lot of control.

Good luck :)
