I'm flying
- I dance because when I'm dancing, I'm flying. Listen to the song from Billy Elliott, Electricity. It describes dancing perfectly..."and suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird, like electricity."

Ballet and Broadway
- Broadway is loaded with ex pro ballet dancers at the moment. So, this will tell you the competition for dance jobs is very intense. If you are really pretty and built, that can work in your favor. Stay away from competition dancing. Very few of those dancers ever get work, unless you want to be a Rockette. My suggestion is to take as many classes as possible at a really good ballet academy. Then sprinkle with a little theater dance, but the ballet is the most important for giving you what you need to compete on Broadway. Also, start taking singing lessons. You must know how to sing. Acting isn't as important but singing is a must. Everyone does double duty now.

Dancing Forever
- "You can keep a tune in your head a long time, but how would the average Joe be thinking about some dancing moves? I am pretty sure dancing is a form of sport, pure physical activity, as is 100m run, or long jump - I can dance at a club all night, but then I come back home next morning and all I do is hum some tunes I heard there - not think about stepping. Dancing is a form of relaxation, sportive activity, but - God forbid - it is NOT an art, just as breathing, blinking, or burping isn't." Well I don't know who you think you are to claim that dance isn't an art form. I don't hum tunes or think of collages or whatever, I DO think of dance moves, I DO dance in the halls and not care who's watching. And also how DARE you relate DANCE TO BURPING!?!?!? I can understand breathing(I couldn't breathe without dance) still you should take back what you said even though everyone will always know that you insulted dance, a way hundreds (maybe thousands) make a living.

It's a unique feeling.
- I forced myself to take dance lessons, I knew I needed to enjoy going out to clubs and not having to drink to do it. Looking back, I had no rhythm, couldn't always hear the beat, was way too self-conscious. I persevered and the moves and rhythms are in my blood now.

Get away
- I dance because no matter what's happening, going to happen, or has happened, no longer matters. Almost like a trance, life seems to become still and peaceful even if its only for a minute.

Why do I dance?
- I dance because I may look like the girl that is 100% confident when I'm not! I'm always worried about how I look, the way I act, and how people think of me, but when I dance I'm the most graceful, confident girl in the world and no one can bring me down.
