I started when I was 32, & I never would have if a<br>dancer I knew hadn't pushed me into it. And I kept it secret from<br>my parents, in spite of my age & the fact that they lived 1,000<br>miles away. So I can sympathize with your hesitation.<p>But...I'm at it again, at the age of 71, & there's another guy in<br>class with me who's 5 years older than I am. And I have no talent<br>whatever. Never had. Can't turn, can't balance, I'm slow &<br>clumsy. How my teacher puts up with me I can't imagine. But I<br>persist, and there are guys worse than I am (if you can imagine<br>such a thing).<p>Oh, the gay thing...? There's a question on that in my ballet-<br>modern FAQ, on my Web page, that should set any concerns you have<br>on that score to rest. Besides, you'll be so busy & working so<br>hard you won't have time to worry about such things. (And there<br>are all those pretty young girls in their skin-tight clothing...<br>don't get me started on that!)<p>You'll be in a minority, to be sure. Is that so terrible? Someone<br>once said that it was bad for the mind "to be always part of a<br>unanimity." Here's a chance for you to escape that. :-)<p>Tom Parsons<br><ul><li><a href="http://www.panix.com/~twp" target=_top>Tom's Page</a></ul><br>[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
