Week 20: Don’t forget to dance

I’m going to learn to dance! I constantly tell myself I will yet have not taken any steps to learn. This is my declaration to change that talk into action and learn a new dance. There are so many ways to learn, with endless videos that give lessons and step by step moves, there is no reason not to try. My plan is to find a silly online trending video that makes me smile and practice. I started to learn the Blanco Brown Git up dance. Maybe I can start there?

Dancing is about letting go, and that is something I often have a hard time with. As if my control, or not dancing makes a difference. I have never tried because I never wanted to be watched, or the center of attention. I realize today that a lot of those feelings were just insecurity or the worry of what other people thought. But as I get older, I ponder the Sheryl Crow lyrics, “if it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad”. And just maybe that learning to dance will inspire someone else, or lead to something, like how quitting smoking led me to running. Or writing a story evolved into getting published.

For me, it is time to say “why not, and try something new.
