B) I only started dancing to try and get a boyfriend

SCORES

7 - 14

Your chances of succeeding in the Irish dance world are slim.  You see Irish dancing as a way of avoiding other mundane work, such as homework & shores, and don't really have enough motivation to practice as much as you need to.  If you really do love to dance, then you need to have a long hard look at your goals.

15 - 18

You love to dance and have managed to strike a healthy balance between pursuing your dream and the rest of your life.  You may sometimes give up seeing friends to go to competitions but you know that keeping in touch is important.  Just remember it is just as important to do well at school as it is in dancing, so keep on top of your homework by taking it with you to competitions & classes.  There's always a spare 5 minutes.

19 - 21

Irish dancing has taken over your life.  You eat, sleep & breath Irish dance to a level that could be stopping you living your life to the fullest.  Whilst practice makes perfect, don't be scared to take time out to see your friends and family, and remember that there is a world outside the dance studio to take a break now and again to explore it.
