Take some kind of dance class

I just registered for a modern dance class at my community college in the fall. I decided that it is the only class I am going to take next semester to get a break from school. This way I will still be in the school system and it will be easier to go back in the spring.

I took a mixture of jazz tap & ballet, and overall…well, it just really helped me with my confidence as well as my physical health and flexibility.

and more important things have come to my attention that need to be on my list off 43things

I loved step aerobics when I did it. I love to go dancing at the bar. I have rhythm so I think I might actually be able to learn to dance.

Swing is especially interesting but I think I might have to work up to that.

Dancing is a wonderful art, a good exercise, and great way to develop body movement skills. As a teenage martial artist, I decided to try a ballet class when I started college (I’d heard that boxers and martial artists sometimes studied dance to develop their footwork). It was so fascinating, that I ended up majoring in Dance (receiving a BFA from Adelphi University) and having a short full-time concert dance career (Entre Six in Montreal and Ballet West in Salt Lake City). I ended my career when I got married (to dance full-time, you usually have to be ‘on the road’ for months at a time and it is hard to have a marriage in those circumstances), but my time in dance was a high point in my life.
