    Well, from who I know I'd try and get good at other types of dance- I'd probably start with jazz and ballet or you can try modern (you can take hip-hop and those other types of dance). I know it sounds weird to stray from your type of dance, but what this does is it improves posture and possibly the awareness of movement. Then once you've had sufficient training you can go back to only hip-hop and your movement should be different but fresh (people will look at you and you'll stand out). Try finding auditions or dance events where you could gain some reputation. Then, people should start asking you to join their group if you're a well-respected dancer and eventually you will become a professional. :)

    Hello I'm a 15 year old and I danced since I was 7, my suggestion to you is start with an easy dance such as ballet or modern, after you do a couple years of that then try to move on to hip-hop and jazz. Right now I am in my 2 year of high school and I am just finishing a dance course, we did modern, ballet and jazz. I love to dance and above is my suggestion. If you want any more advice about dance or high school, please ask me.

    :) I think it's great you know hip hop, but maybe you could learn someother types. I would also try out for any dance classes you could get. The dance class might not always be your style, but you might like it after all. I would also watch some dance shows like the best dance crew which is really good and is hip hop. It also shows how you mix things up such as one crew had to do moves upside down and it worked out. So first start with more lessons and move up. Even if it is a small dance class take and then more people will want you to be in there dance class.

    I know that your question is somewhat dated now, but just wanted to add that I do agree with the above persons concerning lessons and learning simple types of dances first and then progressing to harder ones. You also might try imitating people that you know are good dancers while you watch them on the t.v. That would be a form of practicing if you did that. Depending on what capabilities that you might have for channels to receive on your t.v. there might even be a dance class that happens on one of the channels.

    You better learn it if you want to become one. Dancing need time and guidance. Once you learn it, then you can watch the video about dancing. Video will help you in learning dancing better. You will find some of those videos in the video sharing sites like Think Got Talent

    Hello I would keep going with the hip-hop and if there are any other types of other dances that you are interested in, start classes for them. I am a passionate dancer to so maybe we could talk about our dancing experiences or anything else about dance. I am here to talk to if you want. Good Luck

    Hey there lil' dancer. I hope you stay with dance!! It was and will always be my passion. Have you applied to any dance schools? You should really consider that for sure. And yes, ballet is your base of all dance. It also provides for great strengthening and lengthening of muscles. As you probably already know, you work many different muscles in dance than you do any other form of exercise. (In your legs of course.) Anyway, there are many many schools and types of schools to get you more into dance. You'll also find more networking strategies that way, not that this is a bad way at all. (Email anytime if you wish). Most of all, DON'T GIVE UP YOUR DREAM. There's a line from flashdance that is very powerful... You give up your dream, you die. Of course not literally. You just wouldn't want to have any regrets and/or be unhappy. Also, DON'T DO DRUGS. Of course they're not only bad for you and WILL kill you, they will throw you off track and prevent you from achieving that dream. GO FOR IT!! You're way too young not to.

    Good Luck!

    I agree dance schools. I think it is a must. They can get more info for you too. Not that ballet should be considered as an easy dance. But big time dancers where they are hip hop modern jazz anything. The ones that are truly amazing took ballet. It is the foundation of all dancing. It teaches you the correct technique and then once you have that you can tweak it with everything else. I danced for 13 years and taught for two. I say definitely get in a dance school take ballet and jazz. Those two are the most important and basic. And then you can find local auditions and work your way up, also maybe make a portfolio of all the dancing you have done. Like a resume. Good luck
