Hello and welcome from a real live human! Wikipedia relies on a number of automatic programmes called "bots" (short for "robot") and unfortunately your first two edits were identified by one of them as vandalism. The bot was wrong, you were trying to be constructive, and I shall be reporting the issue back to the maintainers. The problem is that Wiki does suffer from people making silly edits, often school children or students thinking that they are funny or that they can insult someone else with impunity. The bots try are remove this sort of rubbish to keep the encyclopedia usable.

On tap dance, section 3 describes how taps are fitted, so probably your edit to the lead doesn't add a lot. That doesn't mean it was vandalism, just that in my opinion (which is worth no more than any other editor's) it is already covered. The ballet article lacks any reference to amateur training, which from the little that I know, is a significant number of people. I would suggest that you use your sandbox to write a paragraph or two about the amateur field and grading exams, then ask me or another editor to cast an eye over it before moving it to the live article.

Please don't regard this as a snub. Everyone makes mistakes, even computer programmes. Please continue to contribute to Wiki in a positive manner as you attempted to do. If you need further advice click on the "talk" part of my signature and leave me a message, or else just type it here, I'll be watching for a while.
