Dance

This past Saturday I took a dance class with Margurite Derricks. It was a big challenge since I hadn't been in a class in a while but I got in the grove of it. She says dance is back, she means technique. She had us attempt triple turns, is she for real. I was in class with a bunch of teenagers, I felt so old. Looking at them I can now look back at that age not knowing what my future will be as a dancer. Its crazy being old enough to do that. I at one point wanted to cry that I was even having that thought, that I can look back and see things I couldn't before. I was hanging in there and needed to be there that day. Afterwards I was spent, my body had been beat up bad. Way over exerted myself. It was good, need to take a turns class now more often and plan on it. I will master these turns and get in control of my body. THese are thoughts to myself if you don't understand dance lingo. Just know we move about but we know where we are moving our bodies, it's all planned out and has been done many times before so therefore we are control freaks, it must be perfect as well as everything else in our lives. So yes I am a type A person.

Today I had a private session with a girl I meet on set of a commercial, she is a massage therapist and she said she would offer me massages if I could teach her how to dance. So today was our first session and she did so well. I'm so happy I could help her. She has a great body to use and it probablly only makes it easier. More to come with this, I am very hopeful that these knots in my blades will go away.
