So for this semester I decided to take a social dance class at HPU. I have several friends who took it last semester and they had a blast! The Sunday before classes started, I began to get nervous about the class, and that nervousness grew more when I got to class and didn't really know anyone. After our first class, I decided that I needed to stay in the class and make the most of it, turning it into a great opportunity to learn some new dances, and maybe even to break out of my shell and meet new people, with hopes of being lucky enough to leave the class with a new friend or two.
On our first day of actually dancing, we had to show a dance move that went with our name. After that, we learned the Charleston, first with the basic steps and then fast-paced with the music. I starting having doubts again about this class because I would mess up one part and get behind from there. I was believing that my body just wasn't made to move like that! Even though I was slightly discouraged, I went home and practiced and felt better about it, even if it was just the slow version! Hopefully after class on Wednesday, and learning the Waltz, I will have another story to tell yall!
