Dancing my life away
Work has been insane. One of the girls is leaving and it was her last day today. So she has been finishing things up and not doing her set duty. Which is cool, but it just adds pressure on the rest of us.
So it was a great relief to go to dance practice last night.
Amoungst all the other stuff that I have gotten involved with, I am now taking Medieval and Renaissance dance classes. It's nothing incredibly formal. One of the Laurels from the Barony of Ildhafn (which is part of the S.C.A) holds classes, and you learn the steps of a particular dance.
It's lots of fun and I actually get a bit of exercise.
I am basically doing it so when I go to events I will be able to participate a bit more than I have been. Also it's another way to meet people who are involved in the Barony and it means I will be able to talk to them at events.
One thing...I feel kind of dumb around them. It's a new phenomenon for me. I know that I am not stupid, but I'm not a genius either. I have always felt as though I could hold my own with most people. I also tend to not be intimidated by most people as well.
I must say that I don't tend to put myself into situations where I will feel totally out of my comfort zone.
Maybe this is the case. I am doing something, that I really don't know anything about. I am also dealing with people that I do not know either.
So yeah feeling stupid, unco-ordinated and ungainly when I attend these lessons. It's that silly "I want to be good straight away" thing as well.
