I'm looking forward to the next video though and I think the amount of hours practice to be a dancer depends on whether or not you have a natural ability to dance. Some people learn quicker than others but the important thing is that you are enjoying it. :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223906400526250310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140620797924222536.post-11242855171233443512012-09-05T09:57:39.436+01:002012-09-05T09:57:39.436+01:00Thanks. :) Tempted to get a jig doll? lolThanks. :) Tempted to get a jig doll? lolM'ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697943030492173302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140620797924222536.post-55768521981107891622012-09-03T17:00:54.760+01:002012-09-03T17:00:54.760+01:00Wow!
