who is csar doug? you might use it for the prom (highly likly) but you could. or some where else.

[RissiaSunbeam1918]

Well, I'm not saying I'd never use it (besides dancing with Alexei ) but I don't know. I think it would be fun to learn.

It would be sort of cool to balroom dance, i guess, just to know it, but when would you really use it?

Well ballroom dancing (if you take it seriously and competitively like I had to) you practice hours a day (fast, slow, salsa etc.) it makes you artistic in movement and flexible and you stay in shape, and when you really get into it you can't quit it and it becomes you passion (that's what happend to me with Rhythmic Gymnastics)

Believe me those kind of things really change you life!

i would think so... all those moves. fencing is just like that! ecept you use swords.

T-hezzer...comp. ballroom dancing reminds me of when friends from Italy and my former wife and I were visiting the States...We were in a total,dangerous looking cowboy "joint" in Texas...Their 12 year old son was a professional level dance competitor...One woman asked if the "little boy" could dance as there were few men who would try...Enzzi "Lindied" this woman like mad...From there on...he was the "Man-Of-The-Night"...near constant dance requests from woman...all ages...it was crazy....
Gad....what a memory for that chap....

[RissiaSunbeam1918]

Hahaha----a stroy to brighten your day.  

And B_T, I'll keep that in mind if I try to learn. It's harder than it looks, it takes a lot of work, and it's life changing. It sorta reminds me of being in a play because you have to work hard to memorize things.

I don't really know if anyone who is over the age of 13 should really start it now, I mean if becomes WAY harder in any artistic sport when your over 13 (but its diffrent if you 13 and have been doing it for years) (I quit it years ago) But my family does have this one friend who started it when he was about 37 and he became a champion in it, until he injured himself (he's now 72, but he still looks 37, lol)

LOL i started to fence when i was 12... i know some people who started to fence when they where like 5

[RissiaSunbeam1918]

My friend does fencing. She likes it enough. I guess it's kinda cool.

Ya maybe I won't try to balroom dance then, it would be hard, and I guess since the dancing with Alexei was a little fantasy, I won't really need it anyway.

I've done both fencing (initially foil, then to épée) and ballroom dance (classical, swing, Latin, etc) competitively, and they're both amazing. Really, if you're ever in a position to take up either, I highly recommend them. Fantastic exercise.

But where you get definetely the most exercise is Rhythmic Gymnastics, omg that was the hardest thing in the wrold!

I think we've gotten way too off topic here

GD_42, you mean movies as in taken of the real Alexei or just movies?

~Anastasia~

[grandduchess_42]

yes i do sabre i could never do épée way to hard LOL.
anya i mean the real alexei,

[Arianwen]

anya i mean the real alexei,

Here's a mental picture for you...a 6' fencer who SHOULD be a sabruer, but for God only knows what reason, has been put in épée, and is REALLY horrid at it. He bull-charged people and once, his partner, a former friend of mine, simply deflected his blow, which knocked the bloke off-balance, and he started rolling. That kind of person should be wielding a sabre, NOT an épée. On the other hand, one of the best female sabruers I know is MAYBE 5'1", 100 lbs soaking-wet, and looks like you could snap her like a twig. That's until someone calls, 'Allez!' and she kicks you @$$...

Disclaimer: This is NOT meant to insult sabruers. Enough of that happens at team meets and competitions. This is just to demonstrate that there's a decided difference in styles between the three weapons, and who should NOT be wielding what.
