Is it best to start with a dance education or for professional experience first?This depends on your set of circumstances for example if you need to ask this question my feeling is that you should start with your dance education first because the question in itself is answering the question. If you already are dancing professionally obviously you should continue on your path because it is already working out for you, however, if something is not working out for you then you should focus on training and dancing professionally simultaneously if need be. Statistically speaking I advise you to jump into formal dance training as soon as possible but whatever path you choose you can make work as there is no right or wrong way.
