I'm 13 years old , I haven't took any dance classes yet I'm joining ballet in march =D it's always been my dream to become a backup dancer for a celebritiy . I randomly dance everywhere I go. People think I'm a freak when I do but I don't care I love to dance. Can anyone help me?. and tell me what I should do?.

Good career. Very tough and competitive. You have to take orders well, over and over and over, for hours. Those videos are shot hundreds of times until they are right. When you try out or are hired, if you can't follow the routine quickly you are fired on the spot. Many of the routines are taught by sequences that you must memorize.
Ballet, gymnastics, any exercise that keeps you strong and limber (and thin).
There are classes in backup type dancing popping up all over the country.
Ask your ballet teacher to direct you to one later.

Maybe we should be a team. You have to join more than ballet though. Like hip hop, tango etc. you need to practice hard and never give up. Dancing can be painful. You shouldask an expert how to do special moves. If you succeed answer me back. I love to sing. Just like you except for I sing I sing all the time because singing comes naturally to me. People think I'm weird but I don't care singing is fun for me. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!
