First of all, YES! Before you read any further you should know that you can start dance at any age!! In this specific case, we are talking about dance between the ages of 1-17. But in general, no matter your age, you can start at any time!

YES! You can start dancing contemporary at 16. You know what? Most of the pioneers of modern and contemporary dance started taking classes at that age or even later.

You’re not too young to start ANY dance style, although world-class dancers in some styles tend to start earlier. For ballroom, though, 14 is still quite young. Plenty of world class dancers started that late, or even later, although many did start earlier as well.

Surprisingly, it’s still a pretty simple answer: It is absolutely not too late to begin at 13 and become a professional performer (i.e. dance as a primary occupation not a pastime). Many dancers have done this.

It’s never too late to be good at hip hop dancing. I’ve met people who’ve started way later than me that have become good enough to be teaching their own classes. If it’s something you’re passionate about then I’d say go all out in pursuing it.

Starting ballet at 17 will not be too late because many ballet professionals argue that there is no specific age to learn ballet. Ballet is a delightful art form and can be taken up by people of any age group. However, many adults choose to learn ballet as a leisure activity, which can keep them fit.

It’s never, never, never too late to learn something new, especially if you want to do it. While I dance other styles and not hip-hop, I often meet people in their 60s or even 70s that start learning to dance this or that, and I cheer for them everytime. Go and dance hip hop, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Hip Hop Dance for Beginners. Hip Hop dance is great fun but very hard work if you want to dance well. So here is an insider’s guide to learning street dance, and an introductory class for you to do at home.

Naturally it varies a lot from person to person. But a general rule of thumb is that if you’re dancing full time (at least 7 or so classes a week) then it should take about 3-4 years to enter what most people would consider a ‘professional’ level.

Dance is a form of expression and there is no age limit to learn dance. As long as you have the passion its never too late. Start light and slowly move ahead while being mindful of how your body is coping. All the best with the dancing.
