Today my Spanish class started a project where they write about what they were like as children. When I looked at my sample, I noticed it was covered with pictures of me dancing and dressed in my ballet clothes.
When I was a kid, I loved dancing. I took ballet lessons and Irish dancing lessons. I dreamed of the day when I would join the older girls, dancing on point and doing the hornpipe. I never got there. When I got sick in the fifth grade, all the dancing stopped.
I'm not sure that I really ever had much coordination or balance (I assume that I did), but now I can't dance to save my life! I have thought about taking some lessons again, like ballroom dancing. When it comes to musical endeavors, I seem to do best with detailed instructions and steps. I could probably memorize some dance steps and maybe reproduce them on a dancefloor somewhere. Maybe :)
My daughter is 5 and she absolutely loves dancing right now. I wonder if it will continue as she gets older?

It's always interesting to see what interests stick with us as we grow older.
DeleteOh I'm so sorry you had to quit dancing :(. I used to dance Swedish dances but also quite a couple of years ago because I got a problem with a knee, when I was better I had nearly forgotten how to do it so now I focus on playing music instead.
ReplyDeletePlaying music sounds like fun. Maybe I should get back to playing the guitar.
DeleteEven at the age of 50, I still love to dance and find myself often breaking out in it at the strangest moments.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! That's how I am with singing!
DeleteI'm not a dancer.... but it doesn't stop me from doing it. Always dance like no one is watching!

Good advice. I do sometimes dance when no one is around. Some types of music do require it.
DeleteNowadays I only enjoy dancing if I've had a few drinks first ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL
Deleteor if I'm alone in my living room with music blasting!
ReplyDeletePerfect!
DeleteI pretty much have no rhythm and two left feet. lol
ReplyDeleteA-Z Challenge.
LOL. Sounds like me!
DeleteI'm not a dancer, but don't mind shaking it. :) Dance aerobics is one of my favorite workouts. My coordination stinks, but it's fun.
ReplyDeleteDance aerobics always sounds like fun. I just think I would look ridiculous :)
DeleteI think we lose the ability to dance the moment we gain the ability to realize how ridiculous we look doing it!
ReplyDeleteSo true.
DeleteI love dancing and Spanish too! We must be cut from some of the same cloth! :) Also, thanks for teaching me three words in Irish!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. There may be more to come. I am going to be checking out your blog very soon.
DeleteI hope that sharing this desire to be dancing leads to some joyful play with music.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
