Never did I have expectations of being a ballerina. I wasn’t interested in going that far. I just liked to move. I like the freedom of it all. I loved to dance.
As a little girl, I liked to dance. I remember taking a modern dance class in middle school and I picked it up again in high school. High school was a big deal because being a part of my dance class meant I had to dance in the spring recital. That was huge for me. I was definitely the tallest girl in the class. It could not have been made any more obvious when we had to wear blue unitards for our performance. I looked like an electric blue streak. Still, I loved it. I remember one of our performances was to the song “Walk Around Heaven”. I remembered every step of that routine for years.
Since then, I’ve taken other classes but I’m definitely feeling the itch again. I want to dance! I want to learn some hip hop choreography. I want to learn some sexy routines like this!
I should mention that I had the DJ play this over and over again at my wedding. My friends and I did the routine start to finish all night!
There’s something about being able to move my body and make it do new things that’s exciting. There’s a freedom in that. When I was single, I used to dance all around my apartment. I would turn on the radio or pop in a CD and choreograph a routine to whatever song came on. I did the same thing while driving in the car. I’m sure if you pulled up next to me, you’d think I was nuts! It was one of my secret single behaviors. Not so secret now.
Once you nail a routine, there’s a confidence that comes with that. Who couldn’t use an extra boost of confidence? Cheers to that! YES!
I’m always on the lookout for things that help me feel good about me. Getting my butt dancing again would be a step in the right direction. Even if it comes in the form of a DVD I order from Amazon! Gotta start somewhere.
What about you? What helps you feel good about you? Any secret single behaviors you care to share? LOL!

I do Zumba a couple of times a week and that is about as close to dancing as I get LOL.

I love dancing in the shower. And I’m terrible about checking myself in the mirror so in not disheveled.
I love dancing, too! I have never really been trained in dance. Though, I enjoy it and try to include it in my day whenever I can.
I be really getting into the grove with my music blasting in my car. I know folks driving past me be like “What the heck?” LOL!

It has been a while since I went out dancing. But my mom would rally understand what you feel about it. I remember her taking private (in our home) dance lessons after Dirty Dancing came out. She loves to dance.

I love dancing! I haven’t taken an adult hip hop class in years, but you’re definitely inspiring me!

I’m not a big dancer, unless I’ve had to some “liquid courage”!! It’s fun to crank the music in my living room sometimes though.

I used to love dancing when I was younger. I used to go out to a lot of clubs in my single days with friends. It was so much fun!

I used to dance all over the place when I was younger. Then I got into my own head and worried about how I looked, whether I was in step and a bunch of other things no one cares about. I love Get Me Bodied. That’s one of my power songs when I run.

I danced in high school and junior high, but I was always terrible at the hip hop stuff! But, I still dance crazy with my kiddos just to make them laugh…and they do!

I’ve always loved to dance. but in the club..LOL.
But what I love to do is sing. I’m not that good at it( I won’t break any windows, but I’m no Whiteny Houston either) but it’s just something that I love to do. Makes my day!

I only dance by myself but I would love to take a class sometime! It’s always fun!
I loved dancing growing up and not so sure I was all that good at it.. but it made me feel good. It still does! I took lots of classes over the year and even as an adult. I was recently wondering why I let that go, you’ve motivated me to get back into it. I also love that song, totally gets me moving!

I am a horrible dancer. I have no rhythm what-so-ever! However… I will stop the world to have a dance party with my kids!

I am a terrible dancer to be honest. It cannot be done in public.

I don’t know that I’ve ever given real thought to what makes me feel good about ME. Glad you posed this question, otherwise I wouldn’t have realized that it’s been something I’ve been ignoring for too long. Hmm…I really do enjoy writing. Accomplishing a well-written, thought provoking piece that others can enjoy makes me feel good about me. I must come up with something else though…stay tuned.

Ok, so I used to be a fairly decent “hip-hop” dancer. That was before kids, though… I do miss it. 🙂

I love to dance. But I’m not good at it and I don’t have rythym, so I only do it in private.
I dance in the car all of the time. sometimes I get caught at a traffic light and people look at me strangely, but it’s all in good fun!

I could never have a ‘real job’ because I love putting on Pandora and dancing around on my chair (I use a stability ball in my office!) while I blog. I figure it’s fun and surely I burn a few more calories! 😉

The dance classes here offer hip hop and my daughter’s asked to sign up this summer. I’m glad because she quit band before this year starts and hasn’t found something else regular that she wants to do. I’m hoping this will stick.

I was never good at picking up choreography very quick. My daughter on the other hand picks it up in three seconds. She, like you, danced all through high school and even in college.

You’ve taken mine! I love, love to get out on the dance floor. It’s been a while, but I would love to go out dancing with some girlfriends. So freeing!
I love to dance too but mostly in the privacy of my own home. haha

I do love to dance too! I do Zumba 3 days a week, but I have been thinking about taking the hip hop fitness class at my gym this summer as well. There’s something freeing about just getting out there and working the body through dance!

I love to line dance & Zumba. Dancing is good for the soul.
My shower stall is basically the half time court during an NBA game.
