No you are not the only one to take contemporary dance. Before I was dancing ballroom I used to dance contemporary, ballet, jazz, tap and pointe.

Did not get interested in ballroom until 28 years of age. It was a good back ground to ballroom. Made it easy to transition. Can't do wellin that type of dancing anymore and ballroom is funner anyway. Only thing I don't like about ballroom is that you need a partner. Used to dance on stage and was a soloist and it was easier then. Why are you asking about contemporary dance?

How long did you study dance? How did you start in ballroom.? Do you miss dancing alone at times?

i started with tap and jazz when i was 4, and then lost interest in jazz for a while but stayed in tap. when i turned 10 i stared taking lyrical jazz and contemporary. i am 13 now and still love contemporary and tap, but can only take 1 class at a time right now. i got interested in ballroom after watching dancing with the stars, so i took a class and have put aside contemporary and tap for a while. i am trying to find a way to take more than one class since i miss contemporary. what about you? yes i do miss dancing alone, especially because it has been really hard for me to find a partner my age. i am sort of... "just one of the guys", so i have plenty of guy friends... the problem is that they are "too cool" for ballroom. a few of them said it was too dorky, and another had already taken a class but he didn't like it. i am taking a community learning ballroom class, so there are people for me to dance with but would sometimes like a more permanent partner. it would be nice to dance with someone i actually know for once too!
