I Want to Start Dance, but is it possible for me?
I'm 12 years old. I really, really, really want to start dancing, either ballet/pointe or hip hop. I used to dance when I live in Austin, when I was 5. We moved after that to Louisiana until I was 7 and now we're back in Texas. I had to quit when we moved from Austin (I had been doing ballet and tap). I have a cousin who really loves dance and she taught me a little ballet a few months ago (just the five positions and a demi and grande plie (sp?)) and when I did those.. I don't know how to describe the way I felt. Graceful (for the first time ever), beautiful (also first time) like I could conquer the world. My cousin who has been taking for 10 yers, since she was 3, told me I have a lot of natural talent. I went home and asked my mom. She said no. Her reasons were that a) I already have too many activities; b) it's too late for me to start and be able to do anything with it; and c) she thiinks I'm afraid of the spotlight. I've told her none of these are true but she won't listen.. No idea what to do..
