Dancing

Been thinking about ballroom dancing of late. I've always wanted to take formal lessons in some sort of partner dancing. Not the stupid kind of shake your booty crap you find at clubs. but real dancing, with form, posture and flair. The key is it has to be classy.

Anyway, i chanced upon this video today while looking up salsa dancing.



MY, these people can really move, its gonna take a lot to get my asian butt moving THAT way.



This cartoon kinda encapsulates how i feel about dancing. I guess i'd rather be singing instead. haha. I'm so self conscious that I don't think i'd have the confidence to actually dance until i practiced enough not to look like an idiot. I tried swing dancing a couple of times too before. Loved the practice time, but once the actual dancing happened, i'd be that hippo in the corner, watching everyone have a ball. I gotta really not care what people think, i think thats the key to having fun with dance.

PS i realise this 2nd video has NOTHING to do with salsa dancing. the hippo's reaction was what I was really trying to communicate here.

asian bodies aren't meant to curve like that man..you need a butt in order to do that! and well, we lack in that department....i've tried :( when i tried...i ended up looking more like the dog in the 2nd video - had fun and didn't care what people thought.

this 2nd video seems to capture you and me quite well...in many ways...in how i wierd you out sometimes, and how i interrupt you while you sing :) and well, how the dog is smaller than the hippo, and how the dog is just bouncing around in the face of the hippo while he remains calm. it's really cute :D
