Need encouragement
(never used this site before, sorry if I do anything wrong or if this is even the right place to post this)
I want to join the circus so so so badly, but I feel like it’s too late. I’m 31 with a long dance background, but no gymnastics (which I feel is the more important skill to have), and I’m wanting to start learning aerial silks. The more I look into it, the more impossible it seems that I can actually learn and join the circus. They either are born into it or started like 20 years earlier than me. I‘m losing motivation so quickly because it seems like it will be a waste of time to spend tons of money and years learning silks for nothing. I can’t even touch my toes, I feel like I don’t have enough time left to spend years learning aerial silks and flexibility, is it even worth trying to pursue my dreams? What do I do? What path can I take in this? Is it really too late?
