Dance Dance REVOLUTION?

I am thinking about getting back in the swing of things with this dancing. Growing up I wanted to be a choreographer (among other things) but I never thought I could do it for a real career; despite many people living their dreams doing JUST THAT.! Hopefully this will be a way for me to continue my dreams (sort of) and get back in shape. PLUS it will give me something to do when I'm bored. I feel that this may be what I need to release some inner inhibitions. I wonder how the best of the best got to where they are now? Did they have outside hobbies/interests that they worked on while striving to be great? I'm surely not dropping out of nursing school to become the next Laurieann Gibson... but maybe... just maybe.... nahh!.
