If I were you I’d do what your mum wants and start at the local studio. Just because a studio isn’t big or fancy or a “professional” studio doesn’t mean they can’t produce quality dancers. And you don’t even know for sure that they don’t have a competition license. Plus, you wouldn’t be competing straight away even if you did start at the professional studio (you’d still have to learn the dances, get decent technique, find a partner, etc), so what’s the rush? You’re only 13 and I’ve seen people still competing when they’re 50. As far as shoes go, if you do intend to be serious about this you will need to eventually invest in a good pair of ballroom shoes, but to start off with just wear something with a low heel that has straps around your ankle so you won’t fall out of it (and don’t wear anything with a rubber sole, you’ll just stick to the floor).
