Move

In my belly dance class I am still learning new moves and using my muscles in new ways. The dancing helps so much in keeping me moving and wanting to do more.

Others I know run, and I mean marathons. Sure it is a commitment and I never sign up for that, dancing and surfing are their own commitment. When I really practice other dancers can see my progress. The best is getting pats on the back from your fellow dancers.

I have been looking up music for my next dance, and it is so enjoyable. Not only listening to great music but thinking of how to dance to it. What moves will I use, can I incorporate new moves and improve on the old ones.

I think of this, as I walk the dogs or do my dishes,but I never move funny or spin out on the street as film makers would have you believe dancers behave. Instead I dance in my living room and put the dog outside for a bit so I don't run into her. She is old and sleeps a lot.

There is no date for my next dance, so I have time to work something up. Since I have been deep into my 80s music it will no doubt be used to help me figure out a new routine. In the mean time I will dance and move around the living room. Why not?
