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.
