I know what you mean.. I´ve been there...Hi Hannah!<br /><br />I know what you mean.. I´ve been there. Used to think that if I would (try to) dance full out, someone might think I´m full of it. Which is of course ridiculous.<br /><br />Our teacher tells us to go for it. If we go overboard, she will let us know. There is no shame in "failing". How are you supposed to learn, if you´re not allowing yourself to let go?<br /><br />Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-8163942954165620622011-10-12T05:29:20.315+03:002011-10-12T05:29:20.315+03:00I love this! Sounds incredible. That's what I ...I love this! Sounds incredible. That's what I want for my dancing--to have no inhibition and hold nothing back! Give all of myself to the movement! Maybe someday...but at the moment I am usually pretty nervous and fretful in class and don't want to seem like I am trying too hard or to show off, which I know is silly, since we are all there to dance our best!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779900062460174093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-38999297691317556032011-10-09T18:55:19.390+03:002011-10-09T18:55:19.390+03:00Hi Elfie!

But we know already that her dancing is in a different league altogether. <br /><br />But somehow I have this feeling that there is a very lovely dancer called Elfie out there.. :)<br /><br />For me, this variation is mostly about challenging myself and learning something new. It is also fun.

Thanks for ...Hi Alice, Knittwopointetwo and Lara..<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely feedback, it is much appreciated!<br /><br />@Alice: You are so welcome. I know it takes courage to dance full out. But if we don´t try, we will never grow into the dancer we dream of being.<br /><br />@knit.. Would you really stop trying? I don´t think so! :D Buzzbuzzbuzz! :)<br /><br />@Lara: as a fellow adult rec-dancer, IJohannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-45332682198534625972011-10-08T18:52:58.183+03:002011-10-08T18:52:58.183+03:00"It feels like gliding and floating and like ..."It feels like gliding and floating and like I could stay up forever. I´ve had this dream before. Only at the time I was sleeping, not dancing."<br /><br />This brought tears to my eyes! I have had this feeling so many times when dreaming.
