Answer 8

I started in my mid 20's and skated in tons of competitions - it's definitely never too late!  I have friends who started even later - even in their  60's - 70's!  No telling them it's too late - wink!

I have a whole list of songs I'd want to skate to one day too!  It's fun thinking up routines for those "someday" programs and it's neat once you finally get to take it out on the ice!!  

So, go for it!  :)

Answer 9

No, it's never too late. Learning the very basics can take 20 minutes, and getting good at them can take a week to a month. There are only a few things in skating that really take some time. That would be jumps, spins, spirals, flexibility, and speed. I often hear songs and plan out programs for them too, so it's great that you have found songs that inspire you.

Answer 10

it is never to late to learn unless you are frail. I just want to say good luck and don't be disappointed when you cant do things right away. have you had lessons yet. if you plan on competing you should get a private coach. you may want them to pic the music end choreograph those because no offense you probable don't understand the skating rules and yes there are skating rules. just remember to have fun and do your best. I wish you the best of luck

Answer 11

There are many people who learn when they become older, it is never to late to learn something new, so go for it and have fun!
