Aj asked: I’ve never danced in my life, not a bit. However, I’ve started taking ballet classes at the Broadway Dance Center as a part of their Absolute Beginners Workshop. People say that it is great that I’ve started, that I’m male, tall (6′4″), and ready to learn. The thing I’m wondering is: if I start and continue studying dance, how good could I possibly get? Is it too late for me to be as fluent a dancer as those guys that started dancing from 10-15 years old? I have friends and I went to school with dancers as well… people that started around those ages. They’re very flexible, graceful, and fluid. Splits, turns and balance are no where near an issue. I’d love to get to that point some time in the future, but is it still physically possible at this age? (***One thing I wish I could do is balance myself on one foot and point my other foot straight up in the air… making a really nice vertical line with both legs from floor to ceiling — that’s sooo cool!)
