Worried that I'm not good enough

I really want to major in musical theatre…lately I’ve been rejected from a LOT of teen theatre productions I auditioned for and prepared for like crazy, as well as theatre classes at school and school musicals. I’m starting to realize that I’m really not talented enough to succeed in this path although it’s my strongest passion.
I also have very little dance training and the classes I take are such an embarrassment because of how hard it is for me to pick up steps. I am working on improving in this area but I am not naturally gifted with dance and learning the basics as a high schooler has been challenging.
I know it sounds like at this point I’m pretty hopeless but I’ve been interested in MT for so long and I do believe that I am a strong singer and actor, just not special or trained enough to compete with others locally, or make it into a school and find success.
Again, it’s my biggest passion and I’ve had some of the best times of my life performing in shows and I love the community I’ve met. I can’t imagine doing anything other than rehearsing, going to voice and dance lessons, learning about theatre history, and auditioning when I’m in college.
Should I keep trying or leave it to the people who are more experienced and talented?
