Question: Should i stop dancing (ballet)!?
I have been dancing since i was 4 (i am now 15)!. My parents are forcing me to make a decision between playing polo or dancing!.

My father starting teaching me how to play polo, from the day i could ride a horse, well pony!. The problem is that, both take up vast amounts of my time, and i will be starting my A-levels in September and will not have the time to continue with both!.

I have three two hour lessons a week for my dancing and two two hour lessons a week for my polo, but on top of thet i have to exercise my pony every day, so it is going to be far to much to carry it all on, as i also want to apply to Oxbridge!.

I just can't make the decision of which one to drop, dancing is such a big part of my life, and i live for it, i could imagine not dancing everyday!. But then on the other hand i represent my boarding schools polo team , and it is something i have always done, and my pony lives for it, the old thing, gets a new lease of life when we play!. What shall i do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

To me it sounds like you know what you love and want ( big part of your life, live for it, cant imagine it not being a part of your everyday life) but feel you must continue the other out of a sense of duty to OTHERS!. ( your dad taught you, you represent your school, pony loves it) School is important and leads to your future, yet dance transforms your everyday life and you strive harder through it, it also provides an excellent stress busting creative outlet!. Sometimes you really have have to focus on whats best for you instead of pleasing everyone around you!. Good Luck from another dancer who made choices too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If the world would end in 10 hours, and you have only one thing you could do (given you will be with your family eventually) only one thing!. Polo!? or Ballet!? It will also be the one that you want everyone to remember you by!. Answer this, and there's your answer!. Choose without regrets!. Live your life without regrets!.

Opportunity most of the times knock only once - opportunity is the one that in the end you most likely unable to do while doing the other - and it will be the one you would miss the most!. Pick one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
