i have the same problem,i'm 15 now but when i was 13 i missed dance a lot because i had quitefor 4 years because a gymnastic injurie and at the time it was too hectic to do 3 types of dance gymnastics, school work and all the other crap because i was a very shy girl at school and got picked on and i felt uncomfortable in my surroundings because of my race. so i stopped, but don't let minor things like that stop you"from dancing on the moon"
i started late and i want to go to dancing school but i'm afraid i won't get into a good school because i haven't been there for ten and 13 years like all the other teens, but i've realized that this is life and stuff like that is gonna happen and if you keep referring to the past you're never gonna move foward and realize how good you are. it's never to late to start. my advice go for it you'll grow to love it . Trust me i know. at first it may be hard because you have doubts about seeing others who you think are better than you. but don't let it get you down because you don';t know what people are thinking they maybe thinking like this "wow this is her first time back to dance and she's doing those turns pretty good" and from there when you keep practicing it can only get better. so good luck in your decision. bye [/i]
