Americans needed a way to relieve their stress, and one of the best ways to do that to this day is to dance, of course! All these fun styles are social and quick and surely lifted the spirits of Americans at home during such a storied section of world history. By the time the mid-century rolled around, people began taking the Jive to their hands, quite literally dancing with their hands in fast movements. Contemporary dance was also starting to come on the scene, which would be the beginning of non-swing styles as we know them today.
From that point, the Mambo and Rumba were combined to create the Cuban Cha Cha, which is a simple dance anyone can learn. The Cha Cha generally features triple steps called Chasse and rock steps.

The following tables are taken from our article How many years of dance or ballet does it take to be a professional? They are based on the 10, hour mastery rule developed by Dr. Anders Ericsson of Florida State University who theorizes that it takes 10, hours of deliberate practice to master almost anything. If we literally used the 10, hour mastery rule, and divided it evenly up into 9 years the average amount of time it takes dancers to turn professional a dancer at the age of 9 would have to be dancing around 21 hours a week to turn pro nine years later at the age of 18 which would take an insane amount of commitment, possibly leading to early burn out or serious injuries, halting any hope of forming a career out of what once might have just been a fun hobby.
Fortunately what generally occurs is that a dancers hours of training increase gradually as they mature, which is why dance companies take on dancers as apprentices first around the age of 18 and why all dancers in all industries practice and train daily to continually master their art. Our tables reflect this ideology.

The second table begins with a dancer starting at age 4. The difference is that if one student began dancing at the age of 4 they would have around more practice hours under their belt than someone starting at the age of 9 who continued to do the same amount of lessons. By the age of 20 the dancer who began at 4 would have surpassed the 10, hour mastery rule.
What is interesting to see is that the dancer who started age 9 although still hours behind in total training is only 88 hours off of this target. There is no age that is too late to start ballet.
Sooner is better than later, today better than tomorrow!
