Adventures in Line Dancing

osprey_archerMy 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.

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.
