Dancers?

I wasn't sure where to put this, I thought seeing as it is musical related I'd put it here. Anyway are there any others on here that have studied dance in any form? I studied ballet when I was a child and did ballroom dancing in my late teens, I also did a little bit of tradtional Australian folk or bush dancing as well. I would love to learn Irish step dancing and clogging or flat footing.

Well, I had classical ballet training and belly dance for one year at school, if that counts, as well as being taught some things by my sister, who's a professional dancer. Myself, I usually do impro dance with a lot of influence from classical, jazz and latin dance (especially mambo/ salsa). I will be learning show dance at the musical theatre course I'll be attending the next two semesters.

I take jazz and hip-hop (lol) classes at a local studio. The jazz is because I want to, the hip-hop is just really good exercise.

I wish I could learn more styles, but my studio only offers pretty basic classes, and I can't really afford to go anywhere else.

Kindergarten through 2nd I did tap. 3rd through 4th I did ballet and jazz. In 5th I didn't do anything. Then in 6th I did jazz again. I've wanted to take ballroom dancing ever since I can remember. I love to dance though, anytime I can I do so.

I started off with ballet and jazz when I was little. Then I moved onto pointe and square dancing. Then hula and tahitian. Then belly and hip hop and tap. (I hated tap so I dropped out) Then onto modern and Traditional/classical Japanese dancing. Now I choreograph hip hop and teach traditional Japanese dancing.

And that ladies and gentle men have been my 18 years or dancing on this earth. (I'm currently 22)

I've been going to west African dance classes with my mom since I was maybe 3 but I didnt really dance till i was maybe 9. I do hip hop ( B boy) I might do modern when I go back to school after summer break.
I want to do break dance but I dont have enough upper body strength so i've been doing push ups. I plan on starting ballet soon and belli dance. I will prett much do any dance class I can afford I love to dance!

In the 60's I took 2 years of ballet followed by 2 years of tap dancing, culminating in a performance at the Disneyland Hotel in front of tourists. That was fun! And I love picking up ballet girls (when they leap in the air. What did you think I was talking about?

).

I love goth and darkwave and electro-goth, industrial et al, but when I dance with Mrs. Humane, R&B is what moves us together. She can't dance to my taste in music, so I dance to hers. Personally I would rather dance to Clan of Xymox.

I think K-Dance (Korea Dance) was freakin awesome..!!!

There's a band called 'Super Junior'. That I'd once been at their concert.

It was impossible to see somebody dance like that on everyday life...

I've been doing tap for 9 years, jazz for 8, contemperary for 5 and did ballet for 3. I'm currently in a local dance company called Stompin (website:http://www.stompin.net/). It's pretty epic and awesome and stuff. They went on tour to Melbourne last year, so some of you Melboners may have seen them (?)

I love dance! I can't dance myself, which is a shame

But I think its a beautiful art!

I study modern, contemporary, and lyrical dance. I've been dancing all my life, and it keeps me alive. I've taken lyrical and modern classes, but I'm starting up Ballet soon.

I don't dance. I pogo and skank.

I started to do belly dance about a year ago, but had to drop out due to an acute case of reality. I want to do gothic belly dance, but it starts with a tribal foundation. The costume is to-DIE-for. If you haven't seen Tempest dance, you haven't lived. Really. I'd post a link, but Gnet doesn't like me that much yet. YouTube, search on Tempest.
