Is it too late to take up dancing as a beginner when you have reached adulthood?

These were exactly my thoughts when I started dance. I thought I was just going to be disappointed that I started at a later age than others, yet still had professional aspirations. Luckily I was born to parents who had a bit oblivious to the dance profession's preconceived notions about age which certainly helped! More importantly, however, I found that with the right support system and the right mental focus, there is really no telling what you can do. The trick is NOT to go into dance with any fixed visions of how far you will or will not go. Instead, you're better off setting small, reasonable daily goals and breaking them down into smaller and less overwhelming steps. These add up quickly to more often than not form an admirable result. I now dance as an independent solo artist for several dance enterprises that I maintain myself. I only mention this because it proves that these "experts" in the business are wrong when they say that starting post-childhood lessens your potential for achievement, and only discourages other "late starters" from "raising the barre" to reach their own full potential. The more "late starters" whose stories prove age to be nothing more than a number and that how far you'll go starting at what age depends on the individual more than anything else, the faster this later age = less potential stereotype will be shattered. That said, your dance efforts should be applauded. Remember to celebrate your strengths, always work on improving your weaker areas, and don't ever compare yourself to another dancer, especially if they've been dancing longer than you have. That will only drag you down. It may be more difficult to learn such a physically demanding skill as dance when you're older rather than younger, but it has been done, and when this happens the victory is most sweet! To get started, I recommend that you focus primarily on having fun, doing your best, and enjoying yourself, and do whatever you can to free your mind about any distractions regarding your age. You'd be surprised how much this helps in learning any new dance skill. After that, if you choose to take it a step further, just keep fine tuning your skill... Best of luck! Take heart!

it doesn't really matter.what is important is your interest in the dance.just because you didn't dance earlier means you can't learn to dance now.when you are genuinely interested in something,you will learn it easily and will not get tired of it.
