When you made the decision to take up dancing did you do so on your own or were you encouraged/persuaded by a significant other, friend or family member?

I persuaded myself to do so.

Dancing was something I was always interested in, but then two events coincided--a new studio opened in my town, and my cousin was planning for her wedding. We were going to go to lessons together (forget her betrothed!), but she never did take a lesson. Now she's happily married with a two year old.
I have 3 years plus dancing under my belt--and will never stop!

Well, i won't say i made the decision to dance.... it just happened. I saw an ad in the local paper advertising the friday evening dance and the next time i passed the studio i stopped by to check it out. At that stage i had never been on a dance floor...and i am sure that instructor hoped that i would not return after my first dance lesson but i DID. And today i am glad i did.......as far as i know he is not teaching any more, not sure if it had anything to do with me..... LOL
