No, I'm embarrassed to say I danced strickly for pleasure in my house for about a year before having some injuries and surgery several(heh-heh) years ago. I became a bit depressed and stopped dancing, and even working out. I just sat and rusted for a long tim. But I'd love to pick myself up off the ground, learn a-new and go a lot further. I've adored Middle Eastern dance since I was a little girl. Since I creak like an old lady now I hope I can at least get back to where I was. At some point classes are going to be needed!
