Can you play any instrument? Hold a tune when singing?

Learned piano, haven't played in years. Singing I'm good at, and I need to get my voice back in shape.

I grew up on the ocean, and I really like swimming, though I'm not particularly skilled at it; my best stroke is the sidestroke, and I can muddle through a few others. However, I can no longer swim in the ocean, due to a full-blown terror of sharks.

Like, can you ride a bike? Do a cartwheel? Catch, throw, hit a ball? Jump rope?

I can ride a bike, and would like to start doing so again more regularly; I used to do cartwheels with the greatest of ease, and can now do them with significantly less ease; I can occasionally catch a ball (I'm much better with a Frisbee); I can throw a ball poorly; I can't hit a ball at all; and I haven't jumped rope in a few years, but I was really good at it as a kid.

A new question: how many people can dance, and what styles do you do well? I've just started taking salsa and swing lessons, and I think I'm picking them up pretty well. And it's so much fun!

I can't officially dance, although I enjoy shaking my ass, and can follow basic stuff OK in any style I've come across with a partner who knows what he's doing.

I can skate, both roller and ice, as long as I don't need to stop. I can move and keep my balance under my own power, but stopping has generally involved steering myself towards a wall and grabbing hold. If I have a lot of room I can stop using the dragging one foot method. Never was able to do the hockey stop on ice skates and I haven't rollerskated since I was a kid. Never tried rollerblading.

Tried to learn how to skateboard as a teenager and best I managed was staying on while the dog pulled me when I took him for a walk (which he absolutely loved since he could run. Without the skateboard it was me constantly fighting to keep him reined in.)

Like, can you ride a bike? Do a cartwheel? Catch, throw, hit a ball? Jump rope? Skate?

I can bike. I can skate a little, but only forwards, and no fancy footwork. I used to be a kickass softball player, but my throwing arm is for shit these days. I've never been able to do a cartwheel.

I wanna learn how to skateboard. Dancing? I'm like Jesse, I like to dance, I'm okay at it, but I don't do any formal stuff. Alibelle is a ballroom dancer though and I'd love to learn.

The formal lessons I had as a kid were ballet, tap and jazz. I took ballet FOREVER and was decent. I sucked at jazz because I had a hard time with not being turned out. Tap was too noisy and not enough arm stuff.

Heh. All the skills I learned as a child were, for the most part, because I saw someone else either do them, or do them poorly.

For example- I was a little too young for my waterbabies class, but mom needed one time convienient, so we took that one. The first day I screamed so loud and so much, even after being dunked that people were asking mom how long I could do that.

Next day, some other little kid was scared and I told him it was easy, held my breath and went under.

Getting my training wheels off my bike was pretty much the same. I screamed bloody murder until some little boy down the street was riding two wheeled, so I told dad to take mine off.

I can't hit with anything smaller than a tennis racket, and I can't throw anything other than a football. I have no depth perception. I can however drive a tackling dummy a considerable distance for my size.

Can you play any instrument? Hold a tune when singing?

No and no. I barely managed to croak out "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on the recorder in grade school and trying to read music mystified me. I wish I could sing, but I sadly can't.

how many people can dance, and what styles do you do well?

Can't dance. At all. Chronic case of white boy-itis.

I did some ballroom and swing in college, and enjoyed it, though I'm sure most of my memory of it is gone by now. Wouldn't mind picking it up again if I had a partner, though. I also did modern dance all through my childhood, though I SUCKED at it.

Outside of school, I learnt piano, singing, and steel drums. I learnt sewing, tennis, chemistry experiments, and crochet.

In school they taught us how to cook, farm, play recorder, field hockey, track and field and basic gymnastics.

Such a well-rounded girl am I.
