Dance-
I took tap, ballet and jazz lessons for 12 years, but my focus was tap. Here is a clip of one of my big time inspirations, Bill Robinson.

I also enjoy swing dancing. Although I've never taken lessons, my dance background made it easy for me to pick up. My dad sent me this video and it's made me second guess those lessons. These guys are AMAZING!
