Are you too old to be dancing salsa?
I still regularly hear people say 'I would love to have learned to dance salsa but I'm too old'.
At that time I usually try to explain that age is irrelevant. After all, I didn't really start dancing until about a year ago and most people that bring up the 'too old' argument are about the same age I am.
Often though they are so stuck in their believes that it doesn't matter what I say. They'll reply with things like 'but you used to do martial arts' (never mind that I stopped doing that more than 10 years ago) and 'but you already learned to dance as a kid (never mind that I stopped ballroom dancing when I was just in my teens).
Going forward though I won't say a thing anymore. Instead I'll just send them this clip:
After watching that, who could possibly say 'but I'm too old'?
