What kind of dance?

He does modern, jazz, tap and ballet. At his arts magnet school, his chosen concentration is dance, so he does that for 1-2 hours every day. For the performances they rehearse intensely.

He's the best male dancer in his school, and wants to keep it up, but is not interested in dancing professionally. During high school he may go to a private dance school close to his HS, a couple nights a week.

The good thing about being a dancer - besides the physical skills, posture, confidence etc - is that he cuts up the floor at school dances, which the girls seem to like.
