Its amazing how a 1 hr Dance class totally lifted my spirits.
I went to my first Middle Eastern Dance Class tonight.
There were a bunch of girls wearing all the garb, I was like oh nooo. But then found us newbies all crowded in one corner.
Anyways, we just went thru some warm up and basic moves tonight. It was interesting. Its kinda tough the moves, but Im sure with practice will flow.
I was surrounded by these 2 younger girls, more fresh out of highschool types who kinda glommed on next to me. Its so funny watching myself now. Im not so shy like I used to be and intimadated. I mean sure its a lil intimidating but Im to the point of saying SO WHAT? Lifes too short, enjoy yourself!
We all get to pick from her goodie bag of scarves n stuff and tie them around our waists. Actually Im already looking forward to finding or making my own outfits. Some of the girls already had them, they are just return students i guess. I think I wanna do red and black for mine. :)
Next week we all get a CD. Of music to practice and we will start choreography. I think Im gonna really get into this. Finally some form of dance I can do without a partner and not sit home and whine cause nobody is there to go with!
Although ummm its not something you do everywhere either.
There were about 20 women/girls there, but the instructor said usually by the 3rd week the class usually is about half that size, people dont like it or drop out.
So I had a blast, it was so nice. A good getaway and outlet. I havent been doing any exercise for over a week, so it was nice to be doing something again. We actually do get a workout there also.
Im so glad I signed up. I met up with 2 women after group earlier today, we swapped phone numbers, and now I have another place to meet others.
Im looking forward to the New Year. :)
