Which is better for a 14 year old to do as a beginner dance or ice skating?

dance, definatly. figure skating is much too hard. im in Pre-juv, that means i have already passed 2 rounds of a series of level. it has taken me 3 1/2 years to get here. that's still not as far as my friends! its too hard. dance, has more flexibility. figure skating soon becomes your life. Dance is also more stable. figure skating i can assure you, about twice a month you will cry. from stress, the hard work, school. and 14 years old?! does she even no how to get on the skates? i think dance. but that's my opinion. i love figure skating so much. i am addicted. this is all coming from a 12 year old.


Am i too old to start figure skating at eleven I DEFENITLY want to compete but not in adult competitions once im older maybe nationals once im old enough so do you think that I'll learn fast enough?

Eleven is definitely not too old to start figure skating. There are several elite competitive figure skaters that have started at age 9-12 years old. Johnny Weir began figure skating at age 12. He is 3 time US national champion, 2001 World Junior Champion, 2008 World bronze medallist, and placed fifth at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games. read more at http:/www.gofigureskating.com/intro/startfigureskating.html

Should you start figure skating again you quit because it was way too competitive?

If you don't like the competitive side of figure skating than do it recreationally. Then you wouldn't have to compete or if you decide you want to compete you still can. This is a great solution if you just want to learn jumps and spins but not compete.
