I am 93% dancer!!!!! I can see the improvement, probably cause most the things that didn't apply last time, had to do with pointe, but at the time, I was taking 45 minutes of pointe per week, and now I'm taking 3 1\2 hours!

  3. That's OK Caro, I wasn't very much dancer when I first took this quiz to, because I hadn't done much en pointe.

    You are DEFINITELY more dancer than the average person!
