Dance Dynamics

Dancing is sneaky because you sometimes forget you are actually exercising!

I agree with that lovely lady Rita from her last post ;-)

Being involved in the dance classes really is such a release from the pressures from work, home etc. It's so sneaky too because its not until you start losing the weight and feeling healthier that your realise you are actually exercising and building on your fitness! Sometimes the last thing you want to do is go an exercise after work, but then I remember how much fun and laughter I have! And occasionally I get through a whole section without stuffing up!

Last year I was encouraged to start private lessons and I am so glad I did, going for my first medal in March - Bronze latin and whilst I am massively nervous about it I am excited too! I have to say a big thanks to Trent for encouraging me to do it and for Rita who actually forced me to do it (short of actually pushing me up the stairs for the first lesson!) - so glad I am doing it. And of course thanks to my instructor Robbie who challenges me every lesson and pushes me to improve. Even though sometimes he makes me do hideous stuff to get my technique right and I want to hit him a little, when it gets put into practice it all makes sense and comes together - lucky!

  1. Beautifully said Bri..sometimes its lovely to have that gentle nudge,it seems daunting but it is so challenging and enjoyable and most importantly so rewarding...I have a lot of pleasure watching you smile and isn't that what we want? I'm sure Robbie wouldn't mind if you hit him every now and then..Lol. Medals time you are going to be just awesome! As for the classes, they are just so much fun!
