N/A
4. If you haven't danced in over a year, why not?
N/A
5. Are the people closest to you supportive of your dancing?
Well... they try to be. I think since they were never involved so deeply in dance themselves they have a hard time understanding and sometimes don't really know how to encourage someone with those aspirations, but they do their best.
6. Do you wear a costume when you dance?
If it's a dance video or formal performance I do.
7. How do you get others to dance with you?
If it's a partnering exercise of some kind in class I am usually just assigned a partner. I don't do any slowdancing.
8. Are you going to dance today?
Yes! I am training very hard now for my dance company's first production. =)
9. Do you stretch before or after dancing?
Both, but especially before to reduce the risk of injury.
10. Do you dance with your children or your parents?
Well, I don't have any children, and my parents don't dance, so I would say no to that one... I have taught dance to other peoples' children.

10. I dance with my grown sons, grandkids(when their around). When my mom was on her deathbed, I would play music & dance around her bed, she would get a big smile on her face & clap her hands, daddy doesn't dance.
When I was dancing I pretty much went where the music took me. I have taken tons of classes and taught tap, hip hop, and ballet. I don't know if I will ever go up on point again, but my pretty ballerina shoes are still calling from my closet.
I think that I inherated my dancing gene from my mom, she just loses herself too. My dad, well, he can play a mean trumpet, so we like him to stay up with the band.:)
I do a lot moving to the beat in my chair if that counts.
