^^ Oh wow, Hindu!! That's so cool to hear that you used to dance professionally, and that your parents were the ones encouraging you to keep it up! 😃 Never let your hobbies die!
@ Topic: Well, I do not really have an interest to learn dance, but ever since I was young I was very much into singing. My father did not really comment much on it, but my mom was never a fan of me singing. She would try to get me involved in other activities, but in school I would always choose choir as my elective. I even took voice lessons through my school for a few years, but I had to stop them once I went to college. I have always wanted to learn Indian classical music, but right now I do not have the time. Later in life I will try to learn it though.
I still do sing and try to learn by ear, but it's hard. I try to remember the music theory I learned in school, so that I still have my foundation. My mom still gets irritated when I mention wanting to join voice lessons again, but I think she feels singing is just a hobby that will get me no where. In sense she's right, but people need hobbies for reducing stress. I would get very stressed in high school, but singing and learning music kept me balanced. I feel now I don't really have an outlet. Sure I sing for fun, but it's not the same as going to voice lessons and learning from a teacher or even learning songs in choir class.
My mother wanted me to go into band or sports for some reason. 😆
