Author: I’m interested in learning how to ballroom/latin dance and maybe competing in it. I’m 15 and don’t have much dance experience.I was wondering if there are any dance studios that offer beginner classes for teens in southern MA, near the Foxboro area. Also, is 15 too old to start? And will I need to find a partner before I start dancing?
Ive been dancing since i was 3 years old and now im 14 
. I love latin and ballroom but mostly ballroom but sadly i live in the uk so i can not give you details of places to go. You can start whenever you want. We have many teenagers that start. There is no need to find a dancing partner before you start because i think your dance school will sort that out for you based on ability age and height. You will have lots of fun and keeps you fit! You will hopefully make lots of new friends and the competing is an excellent experience. Good Luck! 
Hoped I Helped!

I am 15 almost 16 years old and really want to take ballroom and latin dancing this summer. I am trying to convince my friends to join me and one of them might be able to do one of the three lessons. I am taking a beginner adult class and I really don’t want to have like no friends and be dancing with people much older than me- that would be weird and awkward. Has anyone ever taken lessons and is it awkward? If you could describe it that would be great! Also, can I get really good at dancing if I start now? I am not coordinated and haven’t ever taken dance lessons! Thank you for all your advice and help! Thanks!
I’m one of those old guys you think you’d feel awkward around. I bathe every Saturday whether I need it or not, brush both my teeth, and don’t hit my dance partners very hard, at least not often.
Seriously, I think you have some preconceived notions that just don’t fit what you’ll find when you get there.
Of course it’s awkward. You’ll be learning how to do things you’ve never done before. I’ve been taking lessons since you were a toddler, and if I don’t feel like a klutz, then I figure I’m not trying hard enough! But you’ll start in beginner lessons, and your group classes will be with other beginners, each of whom is convinced he’s the least coordinated person on the floor. You’ll find that with few exceptions ballroom dancers are very cognizant of the fact that they all started from where you are, and they’ll do all they can to make sure you progress and have fun doing it.
Luis Scola won the competition

What is the difference between Salsa, Mambo, Samba, and Cha-Cha? I’m looking to take dancing lessons at Arthur Murray Dance Studio. I’ve never danced any of these type styles and I’m not sure which one would be to my most benefit. Maybe something that is most likely to be used in a club or at a dance. My boyfriend is from Cancun and he can dance very well, and I want to know how to dance so when we go out somewhere I’ll know what I’m doing hahaha
There are two types of dancing – the Latin Ballroom (cha-cha, rumba, samba, jive, paso-doble), you mostly learn these together, or the original and derived dances – Samba de Brasil, Cuban Salsa, LA Salsa, Mambo (Salsa on2).
The understanding of the differences comes with the amount of knowledge you gain.
Depends on what music you wanna dance to.
If you never done any partner dancing or step-based dancing before, I suggest to start with an easy one, which I would consider salsa (level 1 dance). Salsa gives you lots of space to express yourself and it’s better to do, if you’re a confident type of person. Bachata is a good choice as well, little slower, still latin – lots of hip movement.
Other choice could be swing, very energetic, again depends on what you like to dance to, if you enjoy dancing, down the line you can do West Coast Swing, which can be danced pretty much to anything (including RnB, Soul, Alternative Rock, Cha-cha etc), but that’s level 4 dance, so here better start with East Coast or Melange. Rather footwork orientated dancing. More info on this – check the link below.
In general for dancers beginners, these are the best dances: East Coast Swing, Melange (4Count Swing or 4 Count Hustle), Hustle, Bachata, Merengue, Salsa or Chacha.
Have fun whatever you decide to do!
