One thing no one can do, here is tell you how good you are. We cannot see you.



But I can offer you something to think about. The ones who win THAT kind of competition are, either professionals, or dancing at a professional level.



You have to ask yourelf, as you are trying to ask us, "What does it take to be a professional dancer?"



The answer is , classes, professsional coaching, conditioning and lots and lots of practice. Pros on stage, for example, don't limit themselves to just one genre of dance. They learn ballet, tap, modern, jazz and many more. Virtually no one learns these types of movements just by watching.



As I write this, I am re reading the question. Perhaps you are asking if we think you should take classes. If so, then, of course, you should! It already seems that you have a passion and what could be better than to pursue a career in something you love.



These lessons cost money, especially as you improve to higher levels. Be prepared, don't expect a job as a dancer for a while. Once you begin attending classes, you will learn of opportunities available to those at your skill levels. Many theme parks put on musical reviews and hire good, but entry level dancers and singers.



Good luck on your pursuits.

Take dance classes. If you're any good they will be able to guide further through taking exams and auditioning etc. Also try joining a local theatre group and get some acting experience behind you. In showbiz you get more chance of work if you are multi-talented.

What do u want to do with yourself ? Do u want to be a professional dancer - if so then you certainly need DANCE classes. But if u want to dance just for the sake of having fun and letting yourself go, then forget classes and let the natural juices flow.

i saw an advert for that film aswell - it looks really gd.



hey, your 14, life has just started - follow your dream. if you have natural rythem (can't spell that off-hand hehe, sorry) and a passion for it then go for it.



get into a dance club at sch or outside of it. you cud maybe start it with a friend who feels the same...research it a bit to see what type of dancing you would be best at and enjoy most.



gd luck with it - hope you follow your dream and have fun....

ok, you can only get experience by dancing.



i do recommend taking a few classes. ask around for a reputable dance class. it is good to get as much experience as possible.



you clearly love to dance so go for it. there is nothing worse regretting things you did,nt try.



good luck. !

Take dance classes. It is wonderful to do what you love when it is harmless. Ask your parents to check the local YMCA or park district about classes.

yes you definitely should if you're flexible because when you take the classes it'll show you what you can do with your flexibilty and they will show you technique on how to dance if you take ballet because ballet helps a lot with your technique
