Hmmm, you seem to be in quite a pickle. I know you love your boyfriend and everything but how much do you love yourself? If you stifle your dreams you are going to really end up resenting him. You don't want to end up sixty wondering what if! As far as we know we only have one life to live so LIVE IT! People spend way too much time out of fear not doing what they want to do or not taking risks. When you are older you are more self assured and always look back saying "If I knew then what I know now.." You don't want to do that.
I know all of this seems eaiser said than done but you are the only one in control of your own life. You are alowing yourself to be controled by your boyfriend. You need to have a sit down with your boyfriend and talk honestly and openly. Try to find out his fears about your dancing and then deal with that. If he still is resiliant then you have to make a choice. Do you want other people to live your life for you or do you want to be the one in control. This is somthing that you HAVE to deal with sooner of later. This problem won't just go away it will manifest itself in other circumstances or relationships.
Honeslty, I would call his bluff. My guess is he will get mad but come crawling back when he realises that you are an adult women and you make your own disicons about your own life. Good luck and do some soul searching about what you want and need! :D
