How did you learn to dance?

I took some ballet when I was around 5-6 but I quit cause I couldn't do the splits. I know. What a five year old. But I still loved to dance anywhere and everywhere. When there was music playing then I would dance. I got a little shy about it later during my early teen years, but then I transfered schools and when the counselor was making my schedule she said all the gym courses were full (had to take one to get a Phys. Ed. credit.) but that I could take Dance and still get the credit. I was like, "I can take dance?!?!?! Sign me up!" I took dance all through high school just cause I loved it so much. I really miss it now that I'm in college. Been hoping that I could get enrolled in some dance classes outside of school but I really don't have the time or the money. Right now I just dance wherever whenever.

I would like to learn, but as of right now, I don't dance.

I also love to dance and if i could do it everyday i would. I learned to dance from dance school as well. Took dance for 17 years and would not have changed my life at all. I love it so much and every minute of it was well worth it. It is worth it because i see people who dont have rhythm and i think wow that must be really bad for them, but then again there just having fun. I dance for me and i dont have to go to a club and get drunk to dance as it comes natural to me and is really my life and wouldnt dance probably if i hadnt been in dance school for so long. Dance was my life for so long and i really wish it was still a part of my life, but there is not where around were i live that takes adult classes except hip hop and i would like to take other styles as well. Keep dancing and enjoy it.

I didn't learn how to dance. I guess it is just pure talent! When I was a little girl, my parents would put me in the table and I would start dancing. That's what they say. They say I was the family's entertainer. I didn't take it as a career. I just danced when we go to bars or when we had to perform in school and that is just it. I hardly get the chance to dance anymore.

I learned dancing from one of my colleagues,she's so tall and good at ballroom dance,but i just scratched the surface of it then she left my workplace...

I don't know how to dance and I hate to dance! I don't know why! My both parents are good dancers in their time, but I didn't get that talent! Even in singing! I'm such a boring person! But in all the dances, I'm having fun watching ballroom and I also would like to learn that and also tango if I will be given a chance! :) See ya!

I wish we had the money so all my kids could take dance lessons, not only is it physically healthy, but it teaches them balance and skill. My childhood was the opposite of yours.. My mom was against dancing and I envied all my friends who took lessons. This was bad, because I'd watch dancing on TV and try to do some of the real fancy stuff and quite a few times I fell or once I even smash my face into the organ and busted my lip..(I think I was trying a turn and flip and it went bad) Anyways, fast forward to when I was about 28 years old and a friend was teaching girls dance at our church. She offered for me to help since my own daughter started and she saw my interest. Soon, within months she had taught me basic Hebraic dance at her home and before I knew it I was on her dance team dancing at various churches and festivals..Unfortunately that was a while ago, now my friend has been gone for two years, cancer took her and the team broke up..:( But I still dance at home, I had taught dance myself and made some choreography up for my own team that also broke up when half the people left the church. But I pray that I will have a team again, it was the best years of my life..:)

Well, i am a fan of Michael Jackson, don't know really how i started dancing. But ever since i was a child i start dancing. The first performance i ever did was when i was stil 4 years old. My cousin just let me join in their group then taught me some steps then boom i was like wow this is fun and got to feel the music. So after that i want to dance and learn new moves. Its passion. If you really don't like dancing then it will be hard to learn it.

Hiya TGL, Never really learned to dance anything at all. I did love to pretend that I was a Ballet Dancer though and dance like they did but those were just dreams of a little Girl. I was very flexible too so I could have got somewhere I suppose but never did as there were no Classes like that around me where I lived. Now I just go with the flow of the Music I love to pretend I know how to dance Flamenco which I don´t at all but it´s nice to think that you can.

My mother and father used to dance all of the time. they are the ones that taught me how to dance. i can still remember my father showing me the steps and twirling me around. i still enjoy dancing to this day and sometimes i think of my father at those times. They are pleasant memories to have since he is gone now.

I do love dancing. And i have learn it from TV. I never take any course on dance but i can dance little. And have participate in dance program.I have a big interest to dance well. When ever i watch any steps in TV and if i do like it then i try to do that and follow the step. Good day!

I learned to dance in elementary school. Our music teacher was very good at teaching us the various types of dancing, which is something they don't do now. I love dancing of all kinds, especially country-western and line-dancing. I've been participating in latin and jazzer size lately. What a great past time!

I've been a student of Ballroom Dance for about four or five years; had to stop after getting married in April 2005. In that time I've gone through four dance teachers. I've performed two Showcase Presentations before a judging panel (received written critiques, trophies, etc), video camera, professional photographer & live audience of peers. I've never had a dance partner. I've completed a final exam for the FATD award to Bronze standard in front of interstate judges, videographers, photographers & live audience of peers. During those years, I danced two private lessons per week, attended three group sessions a week & attended regular socials & Balls arranged by my school. I've been continuously assessed on over twenty different dance styles in the categories of Modern, Latin & New Vogue. I first took up dance lessons as a result of my work with the Church. For two years running, I transformed our very poor turnout Annual Ball into a highly successful event, which twice filled the Rec Center with over 635 youth from as far away as 870km (exceeding capacity - up from 180 the previous year). While I had all my lessons at the same school, which I'm told taught mostly American - style dances, I did make a point of regularly attending our Northern Districts Ballroom Dance Club which was very British. The dance styles are quite different for the same dances, as was the format & ones conduct. I'm grateful for the opportunity, & would gladly throw myself into it all again if ever I got the chance.

I learned cha-cha, boogie and tango on my elementary days. I'm so good dancing it but never get interested when I become high school so I stopped dancing. Since now, I don't dance but whenever I give a chance to study to dance again, I will grab that opportunity.

I don't know to dance. But I have planned to learn it some how before becoming a old person. I am too much in music but never get chance to learn it as I didnt find good coach or a partner you can say... Here learning dance is not easy ..and for that I will have to spend some time in any metropolitan city... Thanks..

I love dancing because I think it's in my blood. I had no classes for learning to dance, I just imitate other dancers! I feel so free and in good mood when I have the occasion to dance. I regret I had no opportunity to choose a dancing career when I was young. Still dancing makes me feel young.

Yes, I love dance. But I don't have many chances to use it. So, I didn't learn it.

I really really really love to dance and my daughter loves to dance more than me, I learned how to dance by fooling around and practicing moves that I wanted to learn how to do. I would study videos or when my friends dance and practice it until I got it right. I love dancing because I am a creative person and dancing is a perfect place to direct your creative energy, I have never took any dance lesson nor joined any dancing teams but I dance all the time with my children. Its a great way to stay healthy and feeling good. And if you're down its a great way to get your spirits back up.

I love dancing! but I can tell you that I am not that good on it anyway1 but when I am dancin I fell so good and happy and I really dont care about what somebody is gonna talk or think about me. I had taken some classes a time ago and it was really fun! I can tell that I learn something taking those classes but not a lot. I like dacing more like I really like (if it makes sense for you) hahaha! never forget to have fun while you are dacing! fun

i learned to dance from taking lessons as a child. i would ask others for their advice and criticism and judge myself against others i saw, both professional and other relations, friends and family. dance to music that appealed to me. you can't really pick a style in which to dance, you have to find one that is you. everyone can dance their own way, but there are people who cannot reach general expectations for certain types of dance.
