Not at all! Dancing has no expiration date. The salsa community has people of all ages, from teenagers to retirees. In fact, salsa is incredibly popular among adults precisely because it is social, fun and good exercise. You don’t have to be young and fit – you dance based on your own abilities. You may learn a little slower than a 20-year-old, but you often have better patience and less ego (younger people can quickly become impatient with themselves). Many people who start later in life find immense joy in dancing and just wonder why they didn’t start sooner! As long as your doctor hasn’t said anything special about health that prevents you from dancing, just go for it. Take it at your own pace, listen to your body, and enjoy yourself. Salsa is about the joy of life – and the joy of life has no age.
