Be prepared to spend hours at a studio, probably more than one day a week, and depending on what kind of dance you want to do, possibly some physical pain. Being a ballet dancer, I'm speaking from the point from which you get blisters so bad that it's hard to walk. However, if you really want to be a dancer, then that will not put you off. Any and all pain you go through is suddenly worth it once you're onstage, showing off what you can do.
As for starting, pick what kind of dance you want to do, then look around for studios that offer classes in that area of dance. Don't go with the first one you find, see a few different ones, and chose the one you like best that suits what you're looking for. Trying a few studios might be necessary, and before you sign up for classes, go and watch a class there, to see how challenging it will be. The other thing to be aware of is if you want to be a dancer, you have to be careful about what else you do. If you hurt a muscle, or break a bone, you're really going to lose skills you've built up, and have to start back at the base again.
It's hard, from what I've heard, to make your way as just a dancer. However, talk to your parent/guardian, and see if they can give you any other ideas, or if they know anyone who can help you beyond what folks here can say.
Best of luck, and don't worry about being top right away. It'll come to you. [ BlackAngel's advice column | Ask BlackAngel A Question ]

If your school doesnt have a dance team or club..you should start one. [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
