Dance Lessons! NO Experience! HELP!?

Question

So My friend talked me into joining hip hop class. I actually havent joined yet but I am a litte nervous about doing so. I mean I have NO dance experience. I just love music and am really passionate about it.

I have watched a couple seasons of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and want to be a semi good hip hop dancer. Don't worry about me being to white. I am latina. I have the dancing blood in me.

But.. do you think 13 is too late to start dancing?

10 points to best answer. THANKZ!!!

Answer 1

13 is DEFINITELY NOT too late to start dancing.  Dance is a passion no matter what age you are.  You should do what you love and enjoy doing regardless of what you/other people may think of you.  I danced for four years and I started when I was 14.  It was the best experience of my life and I do not regret it one bit.  Enjoy your life and do what you makes you happy!! : )

Answer 2

1.  13 is definitely NOT too young.  I started training when I was 16, and I am 24 now - a dance Instructor, and competative dancer.

2.  Remember, joining a dance class doen't mean that they are going to throw you into a group with the BEST dancers ever.  Everyone going is either doing it for the fun, or is jsut as nervous as you are.  So don't worry, just chill and enjoy.  If you're going to tense up, you're not going to remem a thing that you were taught.

3.  It seems you already have confidence, so just go out there and work it honey!

Enjoy!

Answer 3

Wow, burned out at 13!  I know people who started dancing at 75 and are now good dancers at 85!  Get your head working.

Answer 4

13... you still a youngling! you have your life ahead of you! there is no way that 13 is too young to learn how to dance! if you work hard enough at it and really want it then you will get there. as for you being nervous... i wouldn't be too nervous. everyone has been through it, having their first day and they all make it through. have faith in yourself and you'll be fine. you said that your friend talked you into it so im presuming that she'll be with you. i think you guys will be having that much fun that you will wonder where the time went! lol have fun and enjoy it! happy dancing! =)

Answer 5

It's NEVER too late to start dancing and you latina girls have it in your blood! ;-)

Answer 6

No Way, I think its really great that you found a class to take. You rock at whatever you want to do and beat everybody at it. Have fun, and enjoy yourself. And 13 is definatley not to young. Best of Luck,

Answer 7

11 is when i started to learn hip hop dancing.. and your not to late. hip hop has no rules you give it all you got then your teacher will help you improve them to make them on point. start on the basics like moving you hips, feeling the beat and make your moves fluent. then you get in to routines and then you will be semi-pro.

even take classes during summer and then show what you can do...

hope these tips helped and i wish you the best in pro suite in dance

Answer 8

13 isn't too late to start dancing. Definitely join. It'll pay off in the long run. And the reason for going to dance class is to learn some dance steps. No experience really needed there. just join and have fun.

Answer 9

13 too late?  Why, are you planning to retire as well next year?  Seriously, although it sounds cliche, you're never too old to take up dancing!  I discovered ballet at 12, started lessons at almost 15, and made it into the final 20 auditioning for the national ballet company only 4 years later...you can do it too, if you believe in yourself, work hard, and enjoy it!  Have fun.
