1,2,3,...5,6,7

Just danced through two salsa classes. love it!

So that's three Beginner 1's and two Beginner 1.5's I've taken so far. Can't wait to 'graduate' to Beginner 2, then eventually, it's off to shake my ass to Marc Anthony like it's nobody's business ;)

While I was waiting in the hallway for the class to start, I noticed that dancers (jazz, hip hop, contemporary, etc.) are in a different world when it comes to their time, their environment. I see them walking around with this creative air, without even trying. Their outfits, their fashion, their speech, their faces, their colors! and their overall movement and aura are of a different kind that I wish I could have tapped into in my former life. I was watching them in awe, like a junior high kid who observes the cool high school kids - curious of that world, and secretly wanting to be a part of it sooner than later. I wonder where it would have taken me... Other than being a writer, I would've loved to be one of Janet Jackson's backup dancers in another life. I guess I'll never know - another thought to toss in my pile of "shoulda, woulda, coulda". Sigh. But in the meantime, I'll go ahead with my 1, 2, 3, ... 5, 6, 7.
