So I feel like I've been talking a lot these days about two things: my family and how awesome they are, and dance and how much I love this gift I've been lucky enough to be blessed with. In tonight's post I'm going to focus on the latter.
I've mentioned several times both in this list and in my (many) Facebook status updates and tweets how much I love Calen's Saturday night contemporary jazz class at Broadway Dance Center. (To all my dance friends reading this I really recommend trying to get into one of his classes...You'll leave there having been both informed about the body anatomically as well as having been given the opportunity to really push yourself artistically through the physical movement and the emotional connection you have to it. It's REALLY amazing!!) Tonight's class was, yet again, another fantastic class. It was harder than usual; I don't know if it's because I'm just exhausted or because the pace of the phrases was so unlike what I'm used to dancing these days or a combination of both, but I haven't danced that hard or sweated so much in a dance class in I don't even know how long! But I do know it's been awhile. And let me tell you, it felt good. Really, really good. I found that I was surprising myself with some of the things that came out while I was dancing at times--how when I thought I wasn't going to be able to execute something, it didn't matter because whether or not the step came out exactly as I'd liked it the emotional side of it was the driving force and I wasn't even thinking about the steps half of the time.
It. Was. Amazing.
That was a two hour dance class that I was definitely needing big time :)
Tonight, being pushed to the limits while doing what I absolutely love makes me happy :)
