How long does it take to become a good dancer?
It varies depending on the abilities and the person that you are speaking to. Some people will take a very long time and some people will take no time at all, and then we need to look at what and how we define the word “good”, too! For example, I was performing from the age of ten years old and I have danced professionally since them. On the other hand, some people might need their teenage years to grow into becoming a “good” dancer whilst others might need longer. I do think to be a professional dancer you do have to have, to some extent, a natural ability or strong drive which you then work on with training. By the time you are sixteen to eighteen years old, I would expect to see that talent manifest in some clear form.
