I guess, one of the things in life that I've been missing most is finding things that truly make me happy. Or just recognizing what really makes me feel good, or is something that I really want to be doing. Well, this time, i found one. I don't really know why necessarily, but I always have a good time swing dancing. So, i'm going to make it a focus to go much more regularly. I had a phenomenal time last night swing dancing. It's fin when we have a decent group. Me, John, and Monica are pretty much the regulars. But Ryan, Susan, and Liz went last night. It's always fun to add mroe people to the gang, or even just have "weekly special guests" Just to get new faces and interact with more people. Last night was particularly good because I felt a lot more comfortable leading, and definitely a lot more comfortable stayin gon the beat. I definitely do not have a strong sense of rhythm, and tend to lose the beat at times, but for the most part i can recover. And aslong as I am improving from week to week, I'd have to say i'm pretty happy. I am always trying to add new moves to the repoitoire (spelling? I don't use spell check, i'll let you guys be my spell check) We learned free spins last night, it was pretty basic, but I feel like that's a big jump between bad dancer and good dancer. Like I was telling Liz, i have felt most like, you really have to trust yourself and your dancing to do the free spins because you have to catch your partner or disastrous things could happen. And i've felt up to this point, i almost have to cling to my partner so that doesn't happen. And clinging is never good. except when you are hanging from a tree branch over a 300 ft drop. But that's still not really good, just a better alternative to falling.
Andway, so swing dancing is a good time, if you saw me in a club trying to do that kind of dancing, I would be miserable! And most other forms of dancing, but this one, this one I like. And I can tell because I just ramble on and on about it, and pretty soon I have way to omuch written about a pretty pointless subject!
so if you are up for swing dancing, let me or john now. The next event is Sept. 30th at the Bohemian Hall.
