Just for a change, thought I'd post (geez am up almost late enough to be an offical DF insomniac!) happy dancing thoughts. Because god knows they're rare enough in my life.
So what's different? Nothing really except I've been able to focus more on the fun thereby taking myself and my dancing less seriously, which allows me to have more fun...see where this is going?
I entered two jack and jills Saturday night. Didn't place, my shoelace came untied, and I had fun anyway. Except for when I was worrying about how I did.
And tonite I went to Damon's blues class and really felt myself connected to my partners and then social danced and wow it was so much fun.
I feel like I'm at a place I've longed to reach. I started doing all this dancing because it made me happy, and I got caught up in a whole lot of ambition to get better, to be a world-class follow. I am grateful for the ambition because it made me dedicated enough to study hard and persist even though I was frustrated. And now phew! I find myself enjoying it all over again. Hooray.
