What do you think about my ballroom dancing situation?

tribevibe28: What do you think about my ballroom dancing situation?
I want to begin ballroom dancing, and hopefully take it serious enough to begin dancing competitively. I am 16 and I have no dancing experience. The nearest class to me is 1 hour and 45 minutes away both ways and is $ 40 an hour. Do you think it is worth my time and money to take these classes? Or should i just wait until I go to college and take classes there?

Sure, go for it.That commute is a killer, but if you want to dance you’ll do it.

But maybe you should wait until next summer when you don’t have homework to do.

wow thats expensive, the main thing is if you passionate about ballroom dancing then I recommend that you do it. I take classes at my college and its only about 20 bucks for a semester of two hour lessons once a week, but private lessons will be more one on one and you most likely will learn faster. I would check out any Junior colleges in your area, sometimes the dance instructors are really good, plus it may be closer and less expensive.
BTW I’m 19 and have been ballroom dancing since i was 17 with no experience, now I am certainly better than when I started. So if your passionate then I say you do it.
