If you have pneumonia, you definitely won't feel like dancing! You will probably become very short of breath and light headed, and cough your head off. I suggest you rest a bit until you have recovered. In addition to how you will feel, you will be exposing others to your contagious germs...please don't do that.

I would suggest staying in bed, and resting if you have pneumonia. It is a highly contagious illness.

if you have pnuemonia, you would be a fool to exert yourself. You require rest rest and more rest to allow your body to fight off the infection, and I hope you are taking antibiotics. If you exert yourself, you are asking for serious relapse and complications. Do not dance until 24 hours after you have completed your entire course of antibiotics.

With pneumonia comes a reduced lung capacity...so I wouldn't even attempt to do ANYTHING involving aerobic exercise, dancing included. You'd also be using up energy that your body desperately needs in order to fight off your infection. I wouldn't doubt it that you'd end up getting much sicker...maybe even having to be admitted to the hospital. Its just not worth it. Wait until you're better, then dance your heart out.

Not a good idea. If a parent allows this they are negligent.
