My name is Tige Young, and I have no professional ballet credentials to speak of. I'm just a guy who's good with computers who also loves ballet. I'm 30 years old, and I started studying ballet at age 25. 

Typically, I take 3 ballet classes, 1 private pilates lesson, and 1 rhythmic gymnastics class per week ... and maybe also rehearsals for a performance. Frequently, I will miss some of these things because I'm traveling, but you can bet that I'll be stretching and doing barre exercises in my hotel room! 

I'm living proof that a recreational dancer (one who dances simply because they love to do it, instead of for a career) can be very serious and highly motivated to improve. You can reach me at tige@home.com to discuss anything ballet related, or if you're having problems with Dance-Ballet.
