Lighten-Up

So I feel like I haven't blogged in a while. Hello Blog. Hello blog-readers.

First week back into dancing, and, though I wasn't looking forward to going back (too much pressure and worries and other things to do), I've been really enjoying this week. I've been taking the dance school in a different mental way. I've decided to just have fun and learn. I know! Sounds so simple and... DUH! But I really think we were all taking ourselves a little too seriously, being a little too hard on ourselves before... when the fact is, we're all here to L-E-A-R-N, not to show each other how naturally talented we already are or aren't.

So today was a breakdancing day. And it was SO FUN! We did a 'cypher' (a freestyle circle) a few times during the class, and to my surprise, when it became my turn, I wasn't scared at all to go in and try a few moves. I even got one move down pretty well!



Anyway, I think we've all lightened up and changed our attitudes on dancing this semester, and we're all having more fun. It's so easy sometimes to do the opposite... to expect to be good at something the first time you get it. But with dancing, that makes you tense, and then you actually do the moves way worse than if you were relaxed.

Anyway, that's just a little tidbit of how it's going around here. I'm becoming a B-girl. Oh yeah. Baddabing.
