I used to dance and i was pretty good at it. but then we moved and i was too far away to continue. I quit when i was 10 and I am now 13. I found a dance studio close to home. how can i convince my mom to let me get back into it? and am I too far behind?

just tell your mom that you really loved to dance when you were younger and with the convenience of a dance studio being around you, I don't see why it would be a problem. if it's about cost, tell your mom you will work around the house to earn some money so it would be like you helped pay for it. even though it will be her money anyway, she'll still feel proud that you worked toward something you really want to do, and she'll realize you are really serious about dancing and respect you more for your commitment. besides, it isn't even your fault you had to quit before. I don't think you will be too far behind, there are people who start taking dancing classes at your age and they figure out what to do. just ask the dance instructor about it and i'm sure she'll have to answer. good luck! ^_^

You are never too far behind to get back into something you love. If it is a passion of yours, explain that to your mother. If she's tough at bargaining come up with a list of reasons you want to continue with your passion before hand, schedule a time to discuss it with her, and also include an offer on things that YOU can do...like extra chores or responsibilities to show her you appreciate the time and money she will spend on your lessons. She'll be impressed you took the time to think it through seriously...and if she says no...there's always school dance programs too...look into it.

You are never too far behind to do something you enjoy. It is a great form of exercise, and people who regularly participate in exercise have a higher brain function. You enjoy it, it keeps you on a healthy track with something constructive to do.
Many high schools have drama programs that you can try out for (including dance) and this would be a great start if you wish to continue into that area.
It is something good and healthy for a teenager to do. Good Luck!!

Well, I don't know how much you and your family have but $35 two times a week is $70 a week. At first that can REALLY turn parents down. I take Ballet once a week for $15 and a semi private after for $20. When I first started I only took the one class for $15 a week. I knew soon after that I wnated more but I kept what I had for a while. I would always comehome and make sure to tell my parents how much I enjoyed the class and was already looking forward to the next class. About a year after I told my parents about the semi private after for $20. They decided to let me take it. Soon I am going to ask for more classes. But, what I am trying to say is the following; start off with only one class and tell your parents how much you enjoy it AND MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS SAY THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOU TO AND FROM THE CLASS AND FOR PAYING FOR IT. Once you feel they realize how much you like it ask to add the second class. Just remember parents have a lot to think about, a lot us kids don't think about!:) So try that and let me know! Hoped this helped! Best of luck!!!! :)

I definitely don't think you are far behind and since you've danced for so long I don't think it will take much for your mom to let you dance.
Just tell her how much you liked it the first time and you've wanted to find something to do since you've moved.
In the mean time, start stretching.
Good Luck!

ask her and give her the reasons why youd like to take up dance again.. thats all i can advise you not knowing your situation. unless there is a money problem, try to convince her that dancing will make you happy. explain to your mom that you will keep busy and also make many new friends by your new house. its never to late.. and it sounds like you are pretty good already.
also get her with: dancing will consume a good amount of your after-school time. it will keep you out of stuff you should not be doing. tell her that kids involved in sports also have been proven to get along better (socially) with their peers, respect authority and do well in school
[parents like that stuff ;) and its true]
Good Luck!

If the reason to quit was that it was too far, wouldn't it be no problem to start again now that you found a place that's close? Not sure what the problem would be.
