@xCestTresChiquex - No you are defo not too old so yeah I think you should go for it! :)

I would say, just go at your own pace and practice makes perfect. Above all else, you should enjoy dancing. Good luck! x

i compete in the same lvl as u

U14!!! =D

could u give me any advice on keeping my feet turned out (exercises)?

i would have made recallsa at the oriachtas if i turned my feet out more!

[glorious83]

I would just say keep practasing all the time & keeping ure knees closer together should help with turn out aswell. I have problems with turning my feet out far enough aswell so I know how u feel :)

My old dancing teacher used to tell pupils to put their shoes on the wrong feet to help with turn out! lol, I dont know if it ever worked though hehe.

Good luck with your dancing!

Your amazing for not having classes for so long. Very graceful.

What level were you at when you quit?

[glorious83]

Thank you. I was dancing at Open/Championship level

@xCestTresChiquex :D You're not too old. I had to take a break for about 2.5 years due to injury and I'm older than fifteen. :D

My advice is to not give up- you are a very good dancer, and if you enjoy it nothing should stop you from pursuing it. Good luck!!!!
