When I moved here, I decided to take up a new hobby. Something fun, to keep me active, and take my mind off of my studies. I don’t want to get overwhelmed and go mad.
So, in thinking of ways to get involved, I went to what I enjoyed before hand. Film clubs, theatre groups, even art club. But something stuck at the back of my head. I don’t know how to dance. Oh, I’ve done several types of dance as a kid and teenager, but I don’t really know how to dance.
So I’ve taken up the lindy hop. Why lindy hop? It’s fun. It’s cheap. It’s a social dance. I don’t have to be all serious like in tango, and if I mess up on the steps, I can easily fix my mistake.
That, and the social aspect of the club is really, really awesome. If I want, I can go dancing three times a week. Which, time permitting, I’ll go at least twice.
One of these days, I’ll be this good! But probably not for a couple of years.

That is awesome… it’s so much fun and a great way to exercise… I dragged my hubby to ballroom dancing before our wedding, then stopped… been meaning to go back though.

I’m not nearly that good–it’ll be a few years until I’m up to that level. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!

Sorry was so breathless from watching video clip I left typo in last comment. ‘brilliant’ not ‘brillaint’. (Could I say ‘Brill-is’ not ‘brill ain’t’?).

I’ve taken ballroom dancing lessons. I got pretty good with the foxtrot, but once the classes ended, I haven’t tried them again. (Secret: it was actually research for my novel.)

The fun thing about being a writer is we can try things like the foxtrot all in the name of research. 🙂
I’ve thought of trying true ballroom, but its too much of a time commitment at my uni. And we have to compete…not something I particularly enjoy doing.
