Dancing

you had the same dilemma i had. when i was your age. all i ever wanted to do was dance and perform and in highschool thats what i did prior to that i had no training, i was basically what you called an untrained dancer due to so much frustration with being told that i was too old to start (which was 15!) i got discouraged. there is lack of training in oz for girls your age, so i left oz and headed to london when i was 24!!! thats where it really kicked in for me, they have training for all ages and if you want to be a performer its really a good place to train. i studied performing arts, sing, dance and act as i wanted to get into musical theatre. if you are a natural performer it doesnt matter whether the girl next to you started dancing at 6 cause at the end of the day when you go for that audition it all boils down to how well you pick up the routine, performance,style and presence! that is what will seperate you from the rest of the dancers. dont be intimidated when girls tells you that they have trained in all sorts of different dance styles or how long they have been dance training, from my experience in london when you audition they dont look at your cv they look at how well you can move first and trust me there are a lot of dancers that have started way later than me and are doing west end.

my advice to you is not to give up find somewhere to train,( now thats will be the hardest for you, depending on what city you live in) surround yourself with people that have the same dream as you do. Or if your brave enough work hard, save your money and head to london. hope that helps if you have any questions let me know
