I used to do Jazz, and now I want to do it again. I started at 3 and I did Jazz,Balet, and Gymnastics. I quit balet at 8. I did Jazz and Gymnastics until my parents made me chose one at 10, I chose gymnastics. I did gymnastics until the age of 14 when my parents made me quit because of health issues. I got to level 7. After that I gained about 30 pounds, but I lost it within the year.
I'm 15 now. Do you think I'll be able to pick up Jazz again? I'm really flexible, I have all my splits, all my jumps, I don't really remember a lot about it but I'm a quick learner. I really do want to dance again, but I can only do it during the summer. My parents won't let me during the school year. So I was thinking I could start back up this summer, practice on my own during the school year and maybe start studio dancing when I'm 18. Do you think that's realsitic if I want to be a dancer?
Additional info, added Monday October 8 2007, 12:53 am: Also when I'm 16 I can probably start taking class at my local university, do most universities have dancing classes?. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos? cederian answered Monday October 8 2007, 5:39 pm: i think you should if it makes you happy you should do it some universes offer jazz classes but not to many universities offer the classes so you wont have a long list of places to choose from and i think you should start again if it will make you happy as i said earlier [ cederian's advice column | Ask cederian A Question ]
LoveSucks answered Monday October 8 2007, 12:45 pm: That sounds completely reasonable. Since you have the will power to do it, it shows potential.
And since you already have experience in it, it shouldn't be too hard. It will probably come back to you in no time. But it won't be easy. You may be sore, and wanna quit. But don't.
And I think the dancing classes at the university sounds great :] Not all universitys have them, so I would check on their website.
If you keep practicing during the school year, you should be ready by the summer.
