Getting it back? Taking it back?
I suppose both fit.
Last night I went to my first dance class in I can't remember how many years. Bellydance, to less vague. It's a new teacher in town, she's been teaching private classes for a bit, but decided to try doing a group now that she found a good space to do it in. She has lots of plans for further classes, too. And Halfa's. Which is everything I've been looking for, so I hope it all works out for her.
I've missed dancing so much. I've always loved it. There wasn't really any dance classes where I grew up, so it was live bands and dance around my room kind of thing. When I moved out and found clubs to go to, off I went. Then, when I met my dear friend Sebastion, we were out Tuesday through Saturday. We'd get to the clubs about 8 and dance til 2, then I'd drop him at work (he baked for a local cafe) and go back to his place and catch some sleep. Then I'd go back, pick him up, bring him home and either get more sleep or drive back home (an hour away) and go to work. As soon as I was done with work, it was back to his place to get ready to go out.
It was like that for a good 3 years. Then I met someone and I lost all that. I finally got rid of him and found someone amazing. But even with all his encouragement and love and patience, it's been years.
So last night was a big thing for me and I am feeling it today - OW!!! - but it's worth it. I wish I had class every night. This one is only $10 a class, I think I may jump in and get a couple of one on one classes as well, to help get back into things. She only charges $35 an hour, she's very reasonable.
This summer, I'm hoping to do the beginner's class over with my daughter, I think she'll love it and it'll be something for us to do together, too.
Huge step here, I'm glad I made it.
