Last night my friends and my husband (surprisingly) and I went to a local VFW hall where it was advertised that there was going to be country line dancing for the next 5 or 6 weeks. Thanks to Jeanne for telling us about it!
Before my oldest son, "J", was born, (almost 17 years ago) I used to go out every week with my mom and sister to various places to take line dancing lessons. I've always loved dancing, so it's an excellent form of exercise for me. Even when little "J" was still growing fingers and toes, I was out there dancing, it was so much fun! But now that we are in the "new milennium", country line dancing is all but forgotten. Rarely do you see any club, restaurant or studio advertising line dancing lessons. So I was THRILLED when I heard about this!
Last night, I must admit, that as an overweight 40-something woman, trying to move my body like that was pretty difficult. The brain isn't quite up to par for remembering the steps like it was when I was younger. LOL! But....all that said and done, I had a BLAST! Not to say that I wasn't frustrated at some points, but I'm really proud of myself for sticking with it and trying to work it all out, because I think I finally got all 4 dances that were taught...at least for last night. We'll see how I do next class. LOL! I came home last night sweaty, stinky and SORE as all get out, but, It was SO much fun, so I'm planning to go again next week. I think I still have all the handouts for the dance steps for a ton of line dances when I was going way back when I was going BK. (Before Kids) I am sore this morning, but not as bad as I thought I'd be. So I think I'm going to survive.
