Looking for a dance hobby...?

Question

I'm really looking for a type of dance I would like, the dance team at my high school moved to fast but I did enjoy it. I'd like something like a mix of hip hop and ballet honestly, something with a really good beat and the ability to do hip hop dance moves to but to have the satisfaction of pointing my toes in the routine, is there a type of dance like this? Also, is it too late to start? I'm fourteen and I did cheer and I'm pretty flexible, I have my left splits and almost my right, but not quite. Am I too old to start dance?

Answer 1

Try Lyrical or Jazz. i started taking dance at 14, and its no prob. Dance is about being flexible, and just working at the routine. If you did the high school team than it should be a snap! Some of the girls in the classes may be cliquish, but you'll join their group, promise! Most places have teen classes that are beginners.

Answer 2

Try jazz. Its like a mix between the two sort of. The music in jazz is faster & more exciting like hip hop, and you can still point your toes, like ballet.

Its never too late. Call around dance studios in your area and ask if they have beginners classes. Being able to the splitz isnt quite enough, although it does help.
