learn how to dance

Update: Although I received a set of 4 dance/exercise DVDs for my birthday, I haven’t actually used them. One of them is still even shrink wrapped. I have a feeling that once I start I’ll be hooked, but the key is to start. I’m leaving this on my list for 2008.

...arrived today. Merengue Mania. Here it is February 3 and I still have not done anything with this goal! I want to stay upbeat here and not beat myself up about it, but come on!!!! I saw where someone else said they were dancing with a dance team and I thought “How come I didn’t think of that??” It sounds like so much fun and I’d be less likely to blow it off if it involved other people. I wonder if I can find a class or something of super-uber beginners? Hmmm… Something to look into.

Had planned to take a guitar class this upcoming semester but changed our minds and decided to learn how to dance instead. We have some instructional dance/exercise DVDs that we’re both looking forward to trying out. I anticipate starting after we’ve moved to the new place.

Something I’ve wanted to do for many years. I hate feeling out of place and awkward when I find myself at a club. I’d love to be able to go out on the dance floor and forget about everything except the music and how it feels to be totally free and relaxed. Besides, it sounds like a great stress reliever, not to mention good exercise.
