Age does matter. Chance your class. Now.

If you're really serious about dancing, don't quit.
You may even regret quitting (if you do, that is) dance when you are older. If dancing is your passion, go for it. Don't let something silly get in the way.
Because you are older, you learn more and can retain more than you 7 and 8-year-old classmates.
Depending on where you attend classes, you will most likely level up because you are in fact learning more. Once you level up, you will find that every time you go up a level the people get older (judging from your studio, also you may stop at the level you are currently comfortable at and you probably will be with people around and/or your age).
You could just switch studios, but I think you should stay where you are, if you're serious about dancing that is.

No... practice moe often and get good and they'll push you up a level with people your own age. you have to work tog et there... trust me being with little kids is alot better then being with dancers that have danced thre whole life. u'll work ur way up and ull be happy. stay in this class for urself... if u quit now and if u wanna ever dance again youll be like 15 with 7 & 8 year old which you dont want.Hope i could help and best look.

Do you want to learn to dance? If so stay in the class. So what the others in the class are younger than you. Your there to learn something. Right?

No. Don't quit just because of that. It's a silly constraint. The only difference is that you're taller. And smarter, hopefully.
If age difference makes you very uncomfortable - maybe switch to another class intstead. But if there is no such class - stick with this one. Maybe there will be more students of your age joining later.

Why quit? Cause the kids are younger than you are?
I say stay. Because you can be free to mess up and have fun and not care what other kids in class might say (they're not your age and aren't in your grade and can't talk about you to others in your school).
Just stay and have fun.

If you enjoy the class, keep it up. But if you're feeling so self-conscious about the age difference, enough that it detracts from your enjoyment, then quit. Ask the instructor if there are classes for kids your age.

If you have fun in the class stick with it but if you think you need to find a more advanced class you might want to switch. Have fun.

If it's too basic you should quit, and ask if they offer a class for a more advanced age.

Well try to get a class with older kids in it. But you should try to be the best one in that class.
