i danced at 3, but my mom made me stop when i went into 4th grade b/c i was starting band in the morning, if i knew i would of had to stop dance when i started i never would have started, know i'm going into 9th grade and wanted to start dance again, i asked her about it in8th grade, and she didnt seem to happy about me talking bout it, i thought it was b/c of money, so i saved up as much money as i could and told her if she let me dance i would pay for it, she said mabe, but still didnt look to happy, so my friends mom said she would drive me cuz my friend lives rightnear me and goes to that dance school, she said whatever. So when time came around to signing up at the dance school (aug, 9) i told her like every day for a week b4, but that day i was like mom when r we gonna sign up, it ends at 8, she was like we cant today, we have to go 2 your garndmas, so now i cant sign up, she knows i really wanna dance, but she just wont let me, i was really good, i just want 2 dance again!!!!!!!

It looks to me that you are very very dedicated.
When I was 8th grade my mon didn't want to let me do sailing. I really wanted to, I was readin all the books and so on. You get my point - I uderstand how you feel. I was able to convince my mom, and this is how I did it.
I explained it to her what extra efforts did I put in order to be able to do sailing. I explained it to her that it is very interesting and important to me that she lets me do it (just like you explained it to us). I also asked her what was her concerns ans why she didn't want to me to do sailing. She said she was worried about my grades, and also she was worried that other kids involved in sailing would be a bad influence on me. I said that I won't let my grades slide, and I'm adult enough to not get influenced by those kids. In fact, did she see me pick up any bad habitts or manners from them? We made a deal: as long as my grades don't slide below sertain average (ahh, she put it pretty high) I get to go to my sailing classes. If my grades slide, I have one week to improve it, or else - my sailing classes are over for that quarter. Oh yeah, she was also worried that I become a sailor, and that's not the path she wanted for me.... I said mom, can we worry aboutit later? If my grades are good, I'll have many choices. You just got the levarage for grades, mom, so don't worry.
Just explain everything to your mom, try to make a deal with her, and stay dedicated.
Good luck.

Perhaps your mother is a huge Footloose fan... Did you grow up in a small town where dancing was prohibited?

why don't you ask your mom why she won't let you dance? she must have a reason for it and once you find out, you can go about figuring things out from there.

excel on your own. don't tell her. show her that you're good at it during the show. :) or do something that she would like you to do, while managing your time to dance. :D
