Don't ask the question Am I too old to start ballroom dancing? never!!! if you love it do it no metter your age... I have been doing it for more than 10 years on an off, reason being I have chosen to have children and my dancing has taken a back seat, but my strongest passion in life is dancing and it feel so sweet when you dance with someone who knows how!, At the moment I have not been able to find a partner to start dancing with once more but I'm sure he is out there. By the way I'm 38 years old have never competed but have been asked a few times by wonderful dancers. Lia
