take a dance class

I’ve been wanting to take a dance class or join a dance team for a long time and I finally got the opportunity last night! I joined a dance team for a semi-pro football team!
YAY!

My friend and I have talked about looking into hip hop dance classes cuz we did in middle school. I LOVE to dance and I think that, and playing volleyball, would be the best ways for me personally to get in shape cuz I wouldn’t even notice I was working out. Now I have to actually DO it!

Took a swing dance class with some friends, and danced with this dude who smelled like an opened can of cat food. Great fun!

I was thinking about doing something in the Fall, but as we’ve been refining budgets and such, I realize that the money that would go to this is better spent other places. (No, I’m not cheating myself or sacrificing—the money’s going to other goals that are more important to me than this one.)

I took ballroom dancing. It was fun, but I suppose it was kind of useful, too. Like, when you go to weddings, etc., you know how to dance. Really dance.

So I finally have a boyfriend that actually wants to learn how to ballroom dance, so this goal might be closer to completion than I originally thought. Although I do also want to learn the salso and other types of dances :D

When I created this goal, it was because I wanted to learn how to dance. More than a decade ago, I took a dance class in high school. More than a year ago, I took a hip hop dance class through the local adult school. Still, I don’t consider myself a proficient dancer and wanted to take another class. Well, I did. I went to one belly dance class at my gym, and thought about sampling their other classes. My thought didn’t lead to any action. So maybe I’ll take a dance class at some point in the future. Or maybe I’ll do something else to move my body. Something like yoga or martial arts.

I thumbed through the 2007 catalog for the dance school my daughter attends. (They have adult classes, too.) I may revisit this when the 2008 calendar comes out, and possibly do a dance class that is NOT an exercise class.

It would be such fun to dance again!

its just fun! helps you learn to laugh at yourself, especially if you haven’t danced forever
