Did you take Dance lessons or Gymnastics as a Child?

Many little girls take dance lessons, or gymnastics when they are young. Were you one of them? If you are a man did you take either one, or did you get dragged to dance class while your sister went?

I didn't take either. I don't really know why. I wish I had taken dance classes. I did take a cheerleading class once. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't do anything with it.

No, I never did get to because we had no money for me to do anything like that. I always wanted to take ballet. We had a gymnastics club after school and I tried to do a stunt and did not succeed and hurt my neck.

No, I never did. Neither of my sisters did either, well my older sister might have one year, but I was never dragged there nor even paid any attention to her dance lessons at all. I don't think she liked it. My other sister was more in to sports so she didn't get in to dancing.

I was forced to take ballet. Supposedly to help me socialize with other kids, and become more co-ordinated. Neither worked too well. I was a chubby little uncoordinated kid. The instructor finally told my mom not to bring me back. I was not disappointed.

I took ballet, tap, and modern dance as a kid. (Modern dance as a teenager, actually.) Ballet and tap were a result of me begging my parents to let me do it. They were especially wary of recitals and the vaseline-on-teeth requirements during recitals, and eventually pulled me out. I got to take music lessons instead, as a comprimise.
