movement update
A pattern seems to have developed. I come here to discuss movement/dance and how well I've integrated it into my life.
Much better, thank you! Yesterday a tap class, then my first parkour practice at the UW, then tap practice at home, and finally blues dancing until 4 am! Couldn't get much better than that. The night before, I danced myself to exhaustion at ecstatic dance, and even tried contact with one of the guys there.
Tango is hovering at the edge of my awareness. I may have to confront it soon. So is gymnastics, as I continue to waver back and forth. Should I or should I not attempt it? Am I too old for flips or handsprings? Or would learning these things contribute to my fitness, my enjoyment of movement, my overall joy?
I shall keep dancing. I shall continue to practice parkour (it was nice running in the rain with a bunch of guys the other day). I shall continue to practice random things at home.
And..... I think I'll be happier for it all.
