So what we’re nearing 30. We are still constantly asking our parents if it’s too late to be: an astronaut, a ballerina, a trapeze artist, a ballerina, a superhero, a ballerina, a Rockette-did we mention a ballerina? The answer, in short, is it’s never too late to become what you might have been. OK, so we stole that line from George Eliot, but it’s the truth. And there are enough dance schools for adults on Long Island to prove it.
