I thought I was into dance, which is why I took the dance class at my community center that was some hybrid of tap, jazz, and hip-hop. I found out I wasn’t into dance, which is why I’m not willing to help people complete this goal. I wouldn’t be a big help.
However, I definitely think it’s worth it, if that’s what you’re after. Go for it!
