I am currently 25 and am interested in taking latin dance classes. Is it too late for me to learn…?

Posted on Thursday in learn latin dancing | by

I'm interested in learning different latin styles, is it too late for me to learn and be any good? Also what is the recommended training time?

Not too late. Go for it, it's fun!
You should dance (class or practice) at least 3 times a week. If you dance less you tend to forget everything you've learned in the previous class. 4 times a week is good.
For adults, it takes about 5 years to become good (I mean Championship level of "good") if you take lessons with good teachers and keep practicing. You will be able to enjoy social dance in about 3 months and impress ususpecting crowd in about 6 months, but it you'll feel you have a lot of room for improvement.

    Go laugh enjoy. Remember if it seems awkward at first, well that is normal. Soon you can be the person that is doing the steps with out thinking about it. It will make for a good story later and it is exercise.

    Well, if the class is held after midnight it would be too late as you should be in bed, however if it is held earlier in the evening it would not be too late.

    its not too late, you should do the things you are passionate about and see where it takes you. Some people are fast learners and if you're determined to take on this interest then you will learn relatively quick – because you want to do this for yourself

    Never too late! I'm actually thinking of taking some mexican folkloric dance classes, but they perform alot so I'm debating it. I get nervous in fromt of people. But I would love to do it for exercise and to not lose my parents ethnic roots.
