It is not too late but you probably won't dance professionally. Find a school that offers a beginning or basic class for older children (my school has a class like that) or find a small studio so it will be easier to catch up.
Because I let my mother rule my life instead of my heart I didn't start dance again until I was 16. I was pursuing it and doing wonderfully and did it through my freshman year at college. Not too long after that I ended up with breast cancer and unable to dance again.
My point is, that a heart filled with desire cannot be quenched until it's dream is fulfilled. We cannot estimate what power a desire has until one begins seeking it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
