Dancing is fun again!

I had a dance lesson tonight. Despite the dance injury and the fact that I haven’t been able to do my cardio and am therefore woefully out of shape, I am finally enjoying dancing again. The first three-quarters of my lesson were really difficult. We did the new, much more difficult, two-step (that I learned in three hours) to music for the first time and it fell apart. Twice. I have to compete this dance Friday night. We sat down for a minute and I reminded myself who I am and of what I am capable. I got up, we turned on the music and we danced through it flawlessly. Other students stopped their lessons to applaud as we danced by. It was easy and fun and everything that dancing is supposed to be. I can’t wait for the rest of the season. I have an idea for a new partner as well, we’ll see if it pans out… I’m going to dance nightclub this year – a slow, sexy dance that I always thought I would really love given the proper circumstances. And here I am having created the proper circumstances. Go me.
