You might want to mention that you feel bored and left out with your brothers having activities that keep them busy and in good physical shape!. (parents don't want bored kids, they're afraid they might start getting into trouble!.!.!. trust me) Ask them for help in finding something to do that can keep you busy and in good shape physically!. You can find a few things ahead of time for ideas, including a couple of non-dance activities!. Make up a list of pro's and con's for each activity!.!.!. keep in good physical shape, keep busy (not bored), class fees, equipment/clothing costs, time of activity, location, etc!. Be sure that you show them that you have allowed yourself adequate time for keeping up in your school work!. You might want to offer to try another activity first if they have reservations about you doing dance!. If you involve them they'll feel appreciated and it will probably be easier for you to steer them in the direction that you really want to go, and you may be able to get them to believe that it was, at least in part, their idea for you to try dance!. If you can show them that you've thought about this, they are likely to be more willing to work with you on it!.

do some research and find a studio nearby that offers it and then find out times, costs, etc!. then go to your parents and explain why you want to do this!. show them your research!. it will show that you are serious about doing this!. you may even want to offer to help pay for lessons just to prove how much you really want to do this!. don't whine about how they support your brothers more!. if it's absolutely necessary, politely mention that your brothers have activities they enjoy and you would like one too!. try not not focus it all around your brothers though!. after all, this is about you!. you should also mention that it's good exercise for you and will keep you in good shape!. if you're in high school, you could try mentioning that extra activities look good on college applications!. if your parents are expecting you to go to college, this might help pursuade them!.

just in general, be very polite and calm and do not whine!. explain why you want to do it and prove that you are serious about it!. unfortunately they may say no, but if you handle it maturely they may reconsider!. another little tip is to bring this up when they are in a good mood!.

Being a girl is difficult in a boy dominated family, and it spmetimes takes longer for parents to understand, and give in to more female orientated sports!.

Best is to find a dance studio that is nearby!. Find out about classes that wont clash with your other siblings' soccer or sports practises!. also find out times, syllabus, cost, teacher info, gear you would need, where you can buy it, and how much it'll cost!.

Showing your parents videos and interesting articles about Latin and Ballroom will definitely also convince them - maybe they will even join you!

If that doesn't work, find yourself a small part time job, and pay for your own recreational activity - your parents will see your dedication, and I am sure support will be soon to follow!

tell them that you need another activity to keep you healthy ;] haha!. research it a lot and tell them all about the ballroom dance studios around your area and how much it costs, how your going to get to the lessons, etc!. if you act like you are going to be really dedicated and really want to do it your parents should let you!. look into fred astaire dance studios! theyre all over the US and have really great teachers and classes!Www@QuestionHome@Com

From a parent - let them know how much this means to you! If you are truly passionate about this, present your case well prepared!. Think of what objections they might have!.!.!. time (can you take the bus to/from lessons), money (can you contribute anything towards the cost - or can you offer to do more around the house), etc!. Personally, if I get the feeling my child REALLY wants to do something like this, I would completely support it!.
