I'd STUDIEDDANCE in CHICAGO every summer end taught it all winter, and I was WELL-ROUNDED. I wasn't worried about getting a job on BROADWAY. In fact, I got one the first week.
Basically it starts with FOUR months of TRAINING, just basic stretching, KICKING and punching. Then you COME to the choreography and getting ready to put the dance TOGETHER.

I did a DANCE with Fred Astaire in the movie 'Bandwagon.' I GOT to waltz just from left of camera to right of camera, and I'm taller than Fred Astaire. Fortunately, I was WEARING a LONG skirt, so I waltzed with bended knees.
I had a few DJS in my neighbourhood that would play music in the STREETS. There was no HIP-HOP yet; there were just DJs that were playing DISCO, funk, and pop music, and we would gather round, go to the parks, and dance and enjoy ourselves.
