take dance classes (again!)

I really want to take dance class again because it was fun and made me happy.

.. now my muscles aren’t as flexible like they use to be because I took a 2 year break from it ):

oh well.. maybe i’ll sign up for it this year ^^

I danced for 8 years when I was young but quit right before college… 7 years later I’m back and it’s a little frustrating at first because I’m definitely not 17 anymore so I have to get to learn my body all over again but I’m super excited!

I took a four hour class once a week this summer and now I’m back to regular classes – ballet, pointe, jazz, contemporary, floor barre, and ballet technique! I am very excited even though I am in the advanced class and have a lot of catching up to do…

So I did it. I am taking a modern class. Its so great to be back in the swing of it. I feel so happy. I caught sight of myself in the mirror during my last class and I had the biggest smile on my face, that I hadn’t seen in what felt like forever. I’m glad I finally went back after so many years!

i started dance when i was 5. i loved it. i took jazz, ballet, and tap, and i was ALWAYS dancing. at the studio, in my sleep, or just walking around i would be dancing or doing a routine or even choreographing my own routine in my head. people had expectation of me doing something great with dance at a pretty young age. i never walked out of a competition empty handed(and i’m not just talking about buying new dance gear at the competitions). seriously, there was a rush i always got on stage that i couldn’t get anywhere else. in the studio the girls that basically grew up there(me included…we spent more time there then we did awake at home) went by this motto…dance what you feel to the extent of which you feel it and you’ll never have to leave here in grief. it was true. why did i quit? i don’t just want to take classes again. i want to compete again. me and the girls at the studio always left home for the road at the same time, took all the same rest stops, and checked in at the hotel together then after a night of practice and partying we’d wake up early the next morning for breakfast together and check out the competition in the ballroom. i was stupid to leave something i had a natural talent for, especially since it came along with so much…a family of girls that i grew up with dancing…a confidence that couldn’t get shot down…and not to mention trophies that piled in every month from winning. ahhh i miss it so much!

I seen this one and though I want to do that … I use to as a child be in classes 4 to 6 days a week. but as a teen when my parents split up there was no longer money for me to dance. I am thinking I need to find the money to do this .. it will be good training for my ice skating and hockey dream too :)

Whenever I was having a bad day, as cliche as this sounds, I could dance my troubles away for a while and forget. When class was over, I felt so good and happy. I wonder why on earth I stopped? And why am I so scared to start again?!

Taking dance classes is deffinitly fun. Ive been doing it for 8 years and on. Deffinitly good exercise as well. I deffinitly recomend trying it!

When I was younger I was a dancin’ fool – ballet, tap, jazz, musical theater, ballet folklorico (Mexican folk dancing). I miss the feeling that you’re exercising, but in a graceful, sexy way. Keep meaning to find a ballet or hip hop class but life gets in the way – I’m hoping this summer.

started an an african dance class last night. it was a blast.

I want instruction on how to move. I love the freedom of being strong and of learning a routine and getting into it. I love the embarrassing, exhilarating sensation of dancing in front of people and knowing how I’m expected to move. I’m a shy dancer most of the time. A little self-conscious. But when I get in a dancin’ mood by myself at home…
