I've been trying to decide weather to do dance or gymnastics?

Question:Well I iceskate, so people say that ballet would be better, but I took ballet when I was little and hated it. I also took gymnastics and loved it, so that probably should say something right there, but I'd like to develope the grace from the ballet that I wouldn't get from gymnastics.

When I really think about it though..I'd much rather learn how to do a backflip then twirl in a circle.

Can someone help me decide? And which progresses faster?

Honey, gymnastics is EXTREMELY graceful! And if you have time to develop into a competitive gymnast, you'll need to train ballet at the gym as well. Have you considered rhtyhmic gymnastics? Best of both worlds! I did rhythmic for years before I ever took a regular ballet class, and it really helped as far as my flexibility and technique.

You should try cheerleading or poms. It sort of like both. Also try gymnastics if you liked it
