Dance Crazy!

Yep, the dance itch / bug still hasn't gone away. But right now, the feeling's so strong that learning salsa alone isn't enough to satisfy me. I want more! I want to learn ballroom dancing, Latin dance, hiphop, even line dancing and I want to resume my ballet classes! (Okay, so that last one can be a lil' bit tricky since I'm no longer as flexible as when I was younger.) I can't help it; I was born to dance - it's in my blood.

If you're a dancer you'll know that feeling of exhilaration that rushes through your veins when you execute a dance step perfectly. You'll know what it feels like to move in rhythm with the music. Sometimes when your body moves it's like it's not your own body that moves with such grace and precision. You'll feel a compulsion to be moving when you hear that infectious beat or groove. Most of all, you'll know how good dance makes you feel. Even those who proclaim that they have two left feet can be coaxed and moulded into some form of dance movement with a bit of training.
But what is it about our Asian culture that is so repressed when it comes to dance? I remember being shushed when as a little girl I would spontaneously break out a dance move or two when I heard music. And when I eventually halted my dance lessons, it was probably the one thing I missed the most.

Time for me to resurrect my love of dance and dancing. No matter what people say, this time it's purely for my enjoyment. See you on the dancefloor?
