So You Think You Can Dance...

Watching this show gets me thinking.  When I was a little girl I wanted to learn to dance.  I wanted to take ballet or tap or jazz lessons.  Instead?  I was allowed to play tee-ball one year.  My parents knew I wanted to learn to dance, at 6-7 years old my mom used to call me in to watch the ballroom competitions on PBS when they'd come on because

I remember when you first started dancing in Cville, you went from it being simply a fun hobby to being serious, and really good, at it. Take away all the douchey guy BS that was around at the time, it is one of the times you've been your happiest, imo.

It was a great stress release for you, too. I remember no matter how tired you were, going to the club and dancing all night was the best thing ever.

I really think you should get back into it. The flexibility and technique will catch up quickly. Maybe download some flexibility workouts, if you haven't already? Plus, dancing will be good for your physical AND mental health. You're more aware of people now, too, so you can go into this being fairly confident that you'll be able to donkey kick anything BS that may come at you.

If you put me with a choreographer doing jazz, modern or contemporary, I will rock that shit. I can flail about to sad Irish music with sound effects and move people to tears and shit. Put me with another person and ask me to dance? No, ma'am.

When I first went to the club, Mark was like, "dance like no one is watching you." Ya, and I flailed about with some guy and knocked a girl into some strobe light and she was convinced she had burned her hair all up. Not. pretty.

Basically, you're good at ballroom and latin and I'd like to see you doing it again :)
