I was 4, as soon as I started school.

Answer 3

i was 6, but i didnt get a TCRG qualified teacher til i was 13 (two years ago), because we lived in a very small country town.

but then we got one, and became one of the best schools in the state, as well as being the only country school ever to get to nationals! (whoo!)

and dont worry, it took me less than 14 months to go from beginner to novice/open in all my dances.

Answer 4

I was 4.

Never!!  I dance Argentine Tango, and help teach it.

Irish dancing?  Keeping your hands to your sides?  WTF??
