(not so) tiny dancer.

sometimes i continue to amaze myself and i love that feeling.  i think so often we feel like if we didn't learn how to do something as a child, we'll never really learn.  things like foreign languages (and the ability to speak them fluently), sports, a new skill, a musical instrument, but then you give it a try and realize, "hey, maybe i can do this!"

when i was a kid i was expected to be involved in all kinds of activities, but i was kind of limited to what those activities should be.  i suffered through piano lessons for two years before finally putting my foot down.  i played soccer off and on for years.  i was never the girl who could take dance lessons.  dance was too expensive (true), and while no one ever said it, i saw the girls that took dance (i was not built to be a dancer).

last night i went to a dance class.  my first dance class.  at twenty-four years old.  and while dance is expensive and i still don't possess the physique, i did it anyway.  and i'll be back next week for another round of "adult hip-hop" to perfect the routine to kc and the sunshine band.
