Dance off! (yeah right!)

Well, the Belly dancing class will come to an end next week. This week, we finally put all the moves we've learned so far into an actual routine. However, none of us are even close to being good at it! It is still fun though. I'm surprised at how fun it is to dance badly with strangers that also dance badly! I decided that I really liek belly dancing, and it's a really good workout. I put a belly dancing DVD on my Queue, so I will keep it up even after the class ends.

Next on the list:
Find a class that me and Tyra can join together. I think that would be so much fun!

I didn't mention this before, but...
The class is at th Lakewood Community Center, which is where I got married. It is weird being there, b/c I haven't been there since that day. It was even more weird when I went in the bathroom last week. I remember getting ready in there and freaking out a little, like all brides-to-be do.

Until next time...

Belly Dancing

Well, last week was my first belly dancing lesson. I knew i would be pretty bad at it when I signed up, but decided that i didn't care how dumb i looked.
Sure enough, I did pretty bad. But, I enjoyed the class very much and have been practicing all week. I hope to do better tonight.
The moves are very different than anythign I've ever done, and you use muscles you never thought you had. There's a lot of hip movement and you have to walk funny. Really funny! It took 3 days of practice before I was finally able to do it right, and I still am not sure if I even got it! I will certainly find out tongiht, as my teacher is more than willing to point out all the mistakes I make. I don't mid because I know that I will never learn with out the hands on direct approach she has.
I will post an update after another lesson or two!

My Vote Counts!

As you know, this is a vefry important election year, and for many reasons. I am very excited to vote, because this will be my first time. I just got my registraion card in the mail today! Yippie!!! I can't wait to volunteer my time next week to the Obama campaign. I am so excited to share this experience with my family. I am so sad that my big sister can't join with us, because of her location, but I know she is doing her part. Tyra has taken very well to politics, and her babysitter even comented that she talks about the election every day. I am doind the best I can to answer her questions without using the words like "evil" but it's proven to be more difficult than i thought. I know that she will benifit form learning the cold hard facts.
