Bharatanatyam- Is age a restriction?

Congratulations Moogambigai for joining a dance class.
Yes, as you said you can achieve it if you really set your heart to it.

Hi Mahe,

So far classes have not been started in Anna Nagar. Please talk to the dance master about your interest. I have posted his contact number in the directory (link below). He takes home tuition and he is looking out for suitable place in Anna Nagar to start classes there.

Is it too late to be good at bharatanatyam

im a 14 girl old girl in the US (15 next month) and I realized how passionate i am about dance (bharatantyam) but I just started taking lessons and I feel too behind and think I am too old to ever be good. All my friends began when they were 5 and are amazing. i'm very passionate and willing to put in a lot of effort but i still feel i am too late. I know I probably might not be able to complete my arangetram. but if i could, how many more years would i have to train to get there? How many hours a week should I train? (I will be a sophmore in high school next year))
Thanks!

 

Re: Is it too late to be good at bharatanatyam

it s never too late to do the right thing, my dear!

It is your passion, so I advise you to follow your dreams and go for it!

Your passion and energy will make you win all the way if that is what you want!

Good luck! I m certain you will do wonderfully!!!:thumbsup

 

Re: Is it too late to be good at bharatanatyam

You still have bright chances dear. Come on start your classes. I joined bharathanatiyam class when I was 19. My dance teacher said I can go for arangetram in 3years time but I couldn't continue with the classes. It is very much possible.

Good luck! :thumbsup

 

Re: Is it too late to be good at bharatanatyam

Thank you both so much! I just got really discouraged, but dance is my passion, and I'm going to pursue it

 

Re: Is it too late to be good at bharatanatyam

dear andhragirl,
relax, you are only 14. if you continue your dance training without a break, for two to four classes a week, then you should be able to give your arangetram by the time you are 18.

and my guru and many other gurus say that arangetram is not really important in your dance career. it is only something that you do for your satisfaction.

good luck and dance well!:thumbsup
