I think I started dancing when I was something like four or five. At first it was ballet but the ballet teacher was so mean that after pleading with my parents for several years I was allowed to quit ballet and move on to tap dance. And then I took up Irish dancing 2½ years ago. :) I did this Bollywood dance course one summer and I would really like to learn classical Indian dancing, but I don't think they teach it where I live...

I love watching people tap dance, and I would love to learn how. I might take a class next year...
I took ballet when I was little, then for some reason quit. So I'm sort of starting over.

I think I started getting into dancing when I was about 9. I always learned the dances to music videos (And if you asked me to reenact some of these dances, odds are that I could remember 50% of them.)
But I didn't actually start dancing in front of people until I joined color guard my 11th grade year (about four years ago.)

I want to join a dance school or something, but I don't have the money or the transportation quite yet to do so.

Well, when I was 2 I started Ballet for the first time, I've done everything from Jazz-Pop to Flamenco to Square Dancing, I also used to go to a "dance club" that was simply just for dancing, nothing else. Otherwise, I just dance whenever I here music :DFTBA!

I took pre-school ballet/tap, but then i stopped until 3rd grade. Since then I've taken ballet, jazz, and musical theater.

I've been doing modern dance since I was three, and I've had some musical theatre, ballet, jazz, and a tiny bit of tap mixed in with it.

I started when I was in first grade, and now I'm seventeen. I started out with ballet and tap, and in fourth grade I added hip hop and jazz. I was in hip hop for a year, quit, and started up again. For the past couple years I've only been doing lyrical and hip hop, but next year I'm quitting hip hop and starting tap and jazz again.

I've been dancing for 11 years. I'm 14 years old.

When I first started, I did little kid stuff, mostly ballet and fun jazz stuff.

Later on I started doing modern dance. I've done some hip hop and tap as well. About two years ago I was introduced to pointe and I LOVE IT.
