let's dance
I'm so excited to go dance--in the interests of saving the living room light fixture from being smashed by my cane, as very nearly happened this weekend, I've rented space at the Dance Complex tonight, and words cannot even express how much I am looking forward to being able to *move* without worrying about breaking stuff or knocking classmates over or tripping over waiters. The sunlight and longer days have me feeling expansive.
Worked more on traveling arabesque steps in Najmat's class last night, the same step combo that broke a classmate's toe last week (well, her falling broke her toe, it's just what we happened to be doing at the time. careful with long flowing pants!). It went a lot better for me this week, although I've made the discovery that as a result of all the ball of the foot issues I seemed to have totally shifted to turning on my heel on my left foot all the time, which a) makes arabesques just not happen and b) can't be all that good for me. Whoops. Definitely something to work on.
