Is it too late for a male to start ballet at 16?

I am already 16 and i found my passion for ballet just recently after my very first informal dance class at school. Now I am thinking about taking ballet class. Is it too late for me? By the way, I have not told my parents about this because I do not live together with them. They think that I am 'sciency' because I got scholarship to study overseas, thus they always ask me to spend more time concentrating on my study. In addition, I am a male. So, is there any ways I can convince them to let me learn ballet?

Thank you so much! All answers are greatly appreciated. Cheers!

You should toatlly go for it. Dancing is a lot of fun and it is great workout. Sciency people (like my humble self) can be quite successful due to ability to think in terms of geometry and physics and simply because they are good at thinking and memorising thinks fast.

Whether or not you'll make it to the big ballet is it unclear and, honestly, questionable, but you definitely can become good at it and have tons of fun with it.

Tell your parents that your spine needs it. Dancers have really good posture and rarely develop "computer back" problems. I had problems with my back since sweet age of 12, they finally left me when I started dancing. (Don't ask how old I am. LOL)
