I am thinking of going into dancing. I have always loved dancing, though I had never gotten any formal training at all. I have been going for some dance classes weekly for two months now, with a guy who was in the original casting of "Fame" the theatre show. If I work really hard at it, how soon could I be making a good living from it?
Cheers.

becoming a pro in ballet at the age of 22 would be very difficult, but obviously not impossible, people MUCH older than you have done it. based on what you said about your classes, it sounds like you're more into jazz/modern, which opens a lot more opportunity for you! you'll still have to work super hard but the heart of the dancer matters much more than its given credit for, and it sounds like you know what you want. if possible, i would suggest trying to take more classes each week, even if it means going to two separate studios. see what kind of companies are in your area, what studios may hire you as an assistant, what kind of productions the local theatre district may need corps dancers for. the more experience you can get, and the faster you get it, the better.
Good luck!

Yeah you can make it I believe in you, but like my homegirls said up there it takes passions, and a true love for it it would be harder to make it at 22 than if you started at 14 but yeah you can do it always believe your dreams and never forget your town no matter where you be!! Well I can't tell you how long it would take it could take from a year..to 4 months to 2 years it depends on where your at and what type of dance that you are doing ask your dance teacher. But yeah like my homegirl up there said is that you can almost never stop learning if your really taking it seriously but it's a dream if you believe strong enough and you work hard enough then it can be done I'm living proof.
Do your thing homegirl<33
GOODLUCK!!!

I don't know really, because I'm not a professional, but it should take a few years to be good enough to make a living from dancing. But I suppose you could try when you feel you're ready, just as long as you still take classes, because you can never learn everything in a few years. Trust me, professional dancers have to take classes even after they make a living from dancing because they can always improve.

Im sure u cud but it will take a lot of passion and determination- its very competitive and gals start very young- not th its ever 2 late 2 start dance!
dancing is hard- 2 find a job in it , and pay is usually no more than 15,000 (but its 1 of them jobs tht u do it 4 fun and becos of the passion not money!)a yr unless u become a stage dancer -danciong wit celebs wen they perform or yu where a soloist
but im sure its possible - one of the girls on Dance X (tv dance show) had made it so far and shes never had a proper lesson b4!!

you can try...but i cant guarantee that you'll make it professionally. dancers train for several years and start when they're still very young and retire rather early, (usually early-mid 30s) which wouldnt give you much time if you havent had any formal training.
give it a try though...even if you dont make it, youll still be able to do something you like to do

In ballroom - yes. You can start to earn money as early as after one year of training (depending on where you learn it and where you want to teach), and you can get really good in 5-7 years.
