start dancing again

I think I’m going to register to take a class at a dance studio in the spring semester. Part of what I miss about dancing is getting the opportunity to wear expressive costumes and show off what I have learned. Simply going to the rec center dance class once a week is not going to allow me to do that, and I probably need to dance more than that to be good enough for Dance Alabama. I haven’t danced in a while so I feel that I need lessons from professionals to get me back to where i was before. If I don’t do this now, I will never do it until it’s too late.

I stopped dancing after I went to college. I participated in a show the summer before and then when my sorority did not pick me to be in the homecoming pledge dance it went down hill after that. I’ve always wanted to keep dancing and everytime I watch a movie or tv show about dance or go to a play or dance show, I just yearn to be on stage in costume and dancing along with them. I have always wanted to try out for dance alabama and this year is my last chance before graduation.

1. Go to hip-hop class at the rec center. Hip-hop was always my best and favorite form of dance, probably because I did it the most. If I start going to these classes once a week, I am hoping to work myself back into dancing shape. I am going to my first class this Thursday night.

2. Try out for dance alabama. I have my dance shoes in my closet, so why not? I will never let myself live it down if I do not get a chance to try out this year. Hopefully its not too late.
