Hey! Nice to meet a fellow dancer! I just wrote something about Polynesian dances.
I think once we start working, committing to regular classes and rehearsals becomes much tougher to pursue any dance further. Add to that the ageing component (lol) - have to admit I'm not the same as I was when I was 20. But having said that, I can't stop dancing and I hope to keep dancing till I'm 90! Took me awhile to find a dance that speaks to me (after I stopped modern/jazz/hiphop), and I found it in Tahitian dance (my first class, it hit me so hard, I teared up; I thought, "This is it, this is MY dance!" so I hope to stick with it for a long time :)
