Answer 1

NO You are not to old. Go for it! and HAve FUn! =)          

Also Lyrical Is More Of Jazz and Ballet together and is flowy and usally goes with the lyrics =)

Comtemporary uses and feels more of a very emotional side and is often very earthy if you know what i mean.

alao watch some lyrical and COntemporary dances on youtube and you will be able to see the difference. hope this helps have fun =)

Answer 2

you should definitely do it. it's never too late so don't worry about it. lyrical and contemporary are very similar except in lyrical, inspiration for the choreography comes from the lyrics of the song. i'm pretty sure that's the only difference.

best of luck!

Answer 3

no you are not too old to start dancing! Many girls start dancing at 14. I started when i was 3 and i hate to say it, but there are girls who started a few years after me and are better! if you decide to start dancing dont give up! its really fun! i used 2 hate ballet but now i love it because we are dancing 2 new songs not old boring 1s.

Contemporary is "post-modern", when you mix styles and techniques together and don't follow a specific technique.

Lyrical dance is a modern dance form which fuses modern dance, jazz, and ballet. Lyrical dance is often referred to as contemporary dance. It requires excellent technique to perform, as the moves are often difficult and precise. Moreover, the dancer must be well aware of facial expressions, essentially acting, to properly perform a lyrical dance piece.

Hope this helped! =]
