Let me tell you about the complicated sport of dance. There are three things you should know about dance. 1: It's communication between body and soul. 2: It's not something that you just know right away. Dance is something that for centuries has connected people in ways that nothing else could.
I've put together a short list of do's and don't's about dancing and it's complexity.
Do: Try it out. Don't just try one form of dance, because in the long run you may like ballet OR you might like hip hop. Try each style of dance so you know you're throwing yourself into something you actually like.
Don't: Try to overdo yourself, your body can only take so much. Don't push to the point where you injure your body. You need to rest.
Do: Find a company. Dancing is better with other people. You never know, maybe you'll find a dancing partner for life in a company.
Don't: Become so into it that you forget other priorities. You don't want to get so into dancing that you forget to eat on a regular basis and you stop sleeping enough.
Do: Let yourself be inspired. Find things in your daily life that make you want to dance. Dancing is a sport AND art form. You have to have a reason to dance, whether it be to lose weight, because you need something to do or maybe you want to dance because it makes you feel like you have a connection with something.
Finally, do continue to dance. Dance is a little like a happiness boost. If you dance it releases chemicals that give you a natural high. You should dance whenever you get a free opportunity to do so. Dance is a passion and a way to escape your own world.
For the love of all holy DON'T quit expanding your knowledge on dance and don't stop practicing. Dance takes effort, of course some people have more of a knack with it, but even those people have to work to be the best. Like any sport you need to train your body and fine tune it so it works with that sport. Continue to dance and you'll know what that true connection between body and soul is all about.

I agree wholeheartedly about finding a company. It's better to become surrounded by those who love what you love. It'll swiftly boost your morale and boost your desire to move forward. When you have others who are better than you at something, it increases your desire to become just as good as they are.
I really like this. Dancing is a great way to let out your heart! I miss dancing with you in Jr. high. Hopefully we can get into dance again together. You are a great dancer too. Never stop.
