The easiest way to start is by joining a beginners' ballroom class, where you learn posture, hold and a couple of foundational dances before anything else. You do not need a partner or any prior experience to begin.
The waltz is a popular first choice because its slow, steady rhythm makes the timing easy to feel. Many beginners also start with the social foxtrot or quickstep, and a teacher can point you to whichever suits the class.
Salsa is straightforward to begin, as the basic step and timing come quickly to most people. Building fluency and adding turns takes a bit more practice, but the early stages are very achievable.
Yes, salsa is regularly taught from scratch to people with no dance background at all. Beginner classes focus on the basic rhythm first, so anyone can join in.
It certainly is, and adult beginner ballet is designed for those starting later in life. With regular attendance you will steadily build strength, posture and control.
No age is too late to enjoy ballet as a hobby, and adults of all ages take it up. The main difference with age is simply your goals rather than your ability to learn.
