"Dancing is the loftiest,

the most moving,

the most beautiful of arts,

because it is

no mere translation

 or abstraction from life;

it is life itself"

Havelock Ellis

I.TELL.YOU



i was a gymnast

from the time i was 6 until 17

i was a cheerleader for a year

1 year...cause it just wasn't me...

for my mother becasue it was what my sister did...

lesson learned...luckily it was short lived

because i ended up having to have my tonsils out...

so my season had a few quiet months within!!!

i took jazz for awhile

wasn't my style

i would say my feet are not only left

i would say i've got rhythm

i would say i can dance to the beat

i would say i can hear music

i would say i can feel music

i would say i can sway or shake

BUT...LET.ME.TELL.YOU

if ever

you want to feel

completely utterly uncoordinated

ignite both your right and left brain

have yourself a try at belly dancing

i don't think i have laughed so hard at myself

and what i could not do ever

prior to last night

i got the whole hip moving thing down

adding arms...well lets just say i am a work in progress

BUT

to add zills to the mix

OH.MY.GOODNESS

i got no rhythm

hips trying to tick tock back and forth

 arms to be moving

 and then i am suppose to be

 clinging these little cymbals to a 123 beat

if only...if only it had been video taped

i love belly dancing

and really hoping

my brain will stop fighting

with which side is leading

and come to a comprise

by allowing BOTH sides

to start working a bit more freely

TOGETHER

was very much a good laugh to be had
