Adventures in Line Dancing
My line-dancing class is over - did I mention I was taking a line-dancing class? I was taking an eight-week line-dancing class, which wrapped up today. I actually quite enjoyed it, after the third class or so; that was when my feet started to remember some of the dances, so I didn't have to think quite so hard about every single move.
There's a weekly beginners' class that meets at the same community center, on Wednesdays instead of Mondays; I'm thinking about continuing with that, because I enjoyed line dancing and it seems like a good idea to continue with something that I've already started rather than flitting hummingbird-like from one dance style to another without ever settling down anywhere.
Buuuuuut there's also an international folk dancing class, which has two six-week sessions starting in May. I'm not sure if they build on each other or not.
I could take both, I suppose. It is possible to have multiple activities in one week.
I entertain vague visions of eventually making a friend through this - everyone always tells me that joining things is the way to make friends; I have never found it to work out that way, but that's what they tell me. Or at least a buddy to hang out with in class. So far it hasn't worked out, but the dancing part has been fun, at least.

If you enjoy dancing, it might be worthwhile to do both; even if it turns out to be too exhausting, it's a temporary state and you can always dial it back in the future.

Honestly the main drawback is that it means I will have to change my available sheet at work again, but my current boss is very nice so this shouldn't be a problem.
Plus, if I take both, it will make it easier to justify purchasing myself a proper pair of dancing shoes. They'll get plenty of use! And I'm sure the folk dances will come in handy for a story sometime.
