Likewise the posts range from the informative & useful, to the bizarre & twisted, respectively.<p>Anthony, I accept your challenge. I'll be 47 on 6 September (qualifying me for the "fair old mix" end of the spectrum), and work as a pension specialist for a multi-nat investment bank here in the States. I'm a lifelong balletomane who first ventured from the audience to the studio last February, starting with one class a week. Now, I'm taking 3 classes a week, and in the week that includes my birthday I'll be up to 5 classes. (If I won the lottery, I'd be like Adam - moving into a studio, with a sleeping bag.) <p>>Anyway, I'm a late starter (24) at Russian-style ballet, but already thoroughly addicted after less than a year. I'm an engineer/scientist by day, & I live in the south of the UK; that's about all there is to say, really. (probably a good idea not to give <I>too</I> many personal details on these boards, folks)<br>>Anyone else care to come out from the shadows?<br>>Anthony<br>>PS. Sorry to hear you don't like dancing ballet - I'm a 'hippo' too when it comes to navigating the dance floor, but what the hell. <p>Geez, go easy on yourself, Anthony. You'd feel better if you could see ME on the dance floor - at nearly 6'5", with frame to match, I need a lot of space. And I'm not exactly agile. Practice will never make me perfect, but at some point I hope to be at least less dangerous.<br><br><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]
