I used to dance maybe for about 2 to three years when I was little, but then I got this teacher who put everyone with little kids and I was learning like absolutely nothing...so i stopped, but I REALLY want to go back, im in my teens is that too old? im doing it in the summer so it doesnt interfere with school, which is really my main focus, i want to get really good, i mean its not like im gunna go to a feis or anything (tho that woul be awesome), but is it too late?

No way! I started when I was 11 and someone in my school didn't start until they were 12. You're never to old to start dancing. :)

I agree, age should not become a barrier for creative talents. If anything, with an increase in age, come an increase in experience and cognitive ability. However, the earlier you start, the better, seeing as a younger age creates less of a learning curve, your brain is like a sponge early on, it is good to take advantage of it.

Totally. I started when I was 13. And I know TONS of women at my school who could be 50+! You're never too old. :)

Yes, I agree. You are never too young or too old. It's what you want and how you feel

You're never too old. I started eight months ago when I was just weeks short of sixteen. I'm about to go to my first feis. You're never too old.
