I regret quitting so much now, i was doing very well but two years ago i quit because i lost interest. all my friends keep saying you can just go back - but i can't though, they don't understand - i would be in that age group U13 and my fitness levels are down too much i wouldn'tt be able to do it.. :'(

I miss the reel the most, bouncing and dancing in the air on the big stage as high as i can - i really miss that, alot :'( I just want to go back..

@xPickyourselfup hi, it's never too late to start again, now more than ever this is actually possible. we witness every day man's ability to do wonders, we are surprised every day by so much one can accomplish if he sets its mind to it, if he wants it bad enough. so if you really miss it just go back, i'm sure you will be amazing :)

I loved how the girl kept going after she slipped! The worst is when they just stop/run away crying haha

@xPickyourselfup I stopped dancing because I moved to a different country, but now I#m back home and I started again. The people I used to dance with are dancig intermidiate and open now and I'm still in beginners. But:I don't give up! start dancing again if you want to! It's not only about the competitions and levels. I'TS ABOUT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Flatley is a living "Steve Jobs" of Irish dance.

He must be written in textbooks of the world history!...

@xPickyourselfup I'm 23 now, I don't have any dance-experience whatsoever, I've never been a very sporty type: but did want to start with irish dancing. That confronted me with my bad fitness level, but I'm holding on to a tight schedule of stretching, gaining strength in my feet and stuff so I one day will get to the point I may get a pair of hard-shoes.

At the moment I've had 8 lessons... and that for someone who really thought he would fail because of a lack of fitness...

I am 44 and I still want to go back.

i regret quitting so much!! that was 7 years ago and to this day i still wish i didn't make that decision. i was young, and pretty decent and feel like i could've been really good if i stuck with it, but i decided to quit to do cheerleading, then quit that to do swimming. im a good swimmer but not happy with it at all and wish i still danced. the only thing is if i never quit dance and at that time still wanted to cheer then i wouldn't have been happy dancing. it's a lose lose situation with me.

i started dancing about 1 1/2 years ago, i was eleven then and dancing with four and five year olds, now i'm 13 and dancing with 7 and 8 year olds

someday i'll make it into a class with kids my age. but those little kids can be really good, 2 of my school's national team dancers are 6

[IrishGirly15]

@xPickyourselfup Me too! I quit because I broke my foot dancing... I've just been scared that I'd get hurt again. But now i just view it as a BATTLE SCAR!(: And if you miss it that much, it's a sign.(: GO BACK!!!
