I have been dancing for 11 years and it has become a part of life for me. I have moved around the world because my dad is in the army and dance is the only thing that has stayed with me. Of course, it is fun and you don't think of what you are doing at that time as learning but it is. Both are important because without either, you know you are not fully commited.
