Why not? Its not like the kid is sitting around doing nothing or getting into trouble. Assuming that he ends up dancing for 3 years, what else would he do? The only thing that I think might cut off the likelihood of college is that the dancing could somehow lead to a career opportunity that he wouldn't want to forego. But if down the line he decides that he loves dancing so much that he wants to make it his life's work -- perhaps he decides to open his own studio and coach others -- assuming he can make a living at that, what would be wrong with it? </p>
<p>The only real issue I see is one of money: who pays for the studio lessons? who provides basic support for son? That's the one thing that I think iggal needs to consider, because unless and until ballroom dancing starts producing income, iggal is in the position of financing what is probably a fairly expensive hobby. (classes, travel, costumes, etc.)</p>
