Answer 1

It's not just about being a good dancer, it's also about stage experience and only 6 months probably wouldn't be enough.

But if you can on the stage as much as possible before college you should be okay.

If this is what you really want to do with you're life. Do it!

I did and never once looked back =)

Answer 2

i would say that for you to be in a dance college it would be a challenge for you. 6 months of dance isn't a whole lot. most girls and boys that go to a dance college have been dancing for all or most of the life.

unless you think you could be up those people i would say not to do it.

but it's all up to you and what your teacher thinks too. it's probably a good idea to get his/her input on this subject.

Answer 3

it completely depends upon whether your dance instructor thinks you're ready or not and what dance college you're thinking about applying to.

i would say that unless you're sure that dancing is what you want to do, 6 months of dance isn't really enough to know whether you want to pay a lot of money each year to dance... if you've only danced for 6 months, it could just be something that you want to do right now and you could tire of it and have paid lots of money for nothing

then again, if you're positive that dancing is the thing for you, then ask your dance teacher about it: tell him/her about which college(s) you are thinking about and ask him/her if he/she thinks you're up to it.  only your instructor can tell you that, since obviously they've seen you dance for 6 months and no one here at yahoo has ever seen you dance.
