New Leaves

Belly Dancer :edit:

Boy this dancing class is an exercise in being comfortable in your own skin. It's *exactly* what I needed! I felt a little wierd and nervous, but I donned my dance shoes, and did my best to follow what the lady was showing me. She was real patient. I explained to her that I had been doing freestyle for a while, and that I wanted some technical instruction to go with the attitude... :P

She had me do that move where you put your arms above your head and move only your neck to the left and to the right.... "Oh Good! You're a natural!" She said. I was chuffed. Today, I work on keeping my shoulders back and down, my head up and my eyes open...... I didn't know I had them closed... but I guess I did.

The lady who owns the school wasn't there last night, she's out of the country, but I had a great time with the two instructors. No one else showed, so I had the whole lesson to myself!!!

I did the dance along... Dude... I am so lame... But I tried. It was a half hour work out (usually 50 minutes, but we were gabbing and hoping all the people that had said that they would come would show)I told them, "Look I'm trying to follow hands, feet, and hips... it'll come together later.

If I can do this in the presence of other people, then I can certainly get through speech class when it comes.... right?? *feart*

I'm really proud of myself. I tried to talk myself out of it almost all day for whatever reasons.... I can't wait for more lessons!

edit:
So, I came home and looked up the classes for tonight and there are 2 that I can take !!! I'll have to take a nap though because one ends at 10, and i'm usually in bed before then! 4 a.m. comes EARLY.

Seriously though, I totally did an advark clap when I discovered that there were two classes tonight!
