DANCE!


Dance has always been a passion of mine. I fell in love with Swing when I was fourteen and for the past five years I’ve been expanding my limited dance knowledge little by little. Finally, this semester I was able to register for Social Dance, the prerequisite for all other ballroom dance classes. The class is designed to teach four basic dances that will allow you to successfully get through any dance anywhere. We start with the basics and work up until we have enough knowledge to be “impressive”. On Thursday my Social Dance class began learning the Foxtrot. We learned a basic travel step, a turn, a promenade, and a variation of the promenade.
What is there not to love about dancing? It’s exercise. Dancing with the Stars? They all lose weight. It makes you feel graceful. The clumsiest person ever could learn to control her body while dancing. It just inspires happiness. If you can walk, you can dance. So dance! :) If you don’t know how… I’ll teach you.

I have a new goal. I want to update my blog more often.
