So Stupid Excited!

i just ordered my tap shoes...my ADULT tap shoes...and some jazz shoes. after about 13 years I am going to start dancing again...in a class...i think the last dance class i took was probably 8 years ago and we did a dance to Britney Spears' song "Toxic" so whenever that awful song came out...that was when i last danced in a class.

the last time i took a tap class was in high school....with my swing dance partner, Jason. we took exactly one class. we were...uh...not good. i think we had visions of us breaking out on the swing floor and doing a little side by side tap number ala astair and rogers...but sadly...i am no ginger and he was no fred...

but anyway - back to the class...very exciting - my old dance captain from High School...teaches an adult jazz and tap class in Orange County and is trying to get the old dance team back together in the class...how fun is that? at least i won't be alone in making an old fool out of myself...which is why i think its been 13 years...which is silly...which is why my old mature self just ordered some shoes to start finally dancing again!!!

Wait, did you buy shoes like that? If so, I'm laughing so hard right now!

You should see how cool mine are...no laces, just cool split sole goodness. : )

PS - You'll LOVE the classes. They are a major work out!

SO FUN! I am so pumped for you. I have been wanting to take a dance class forever. You may have just given me the push I needed.

Can I just watch you doing that move when your arms and legs flail around over and over? Does that move have a name? I'm excited for you, and inspired too!! Not to dance, no one needs that...but to do something I love just for fun! Have fun
