Take me dancing tonight

About that. Ughh. Not feeling great, and I’m feeling very random, which is why the dancing for my February goals has been more like running/jogging or stretching whilst listening to music.
I mustn’t pressure myself with these goals and as much as I love dancing, I obviously won’t do it if I’m not feeling up for it; I have been doing other forms of exercise and I guess that’s ultimately what I tried to achieve with that goal, as well as with the sit-ups goal (heck, doing sit-ups is easier than that much dancing).
Next month I’ll probably do sit-ups but now I know why I do struggle with my goals. I’ll have university later on too, so I’ll have to keep that in mind.
Scary thoughts.
Not to mention it’s still good that I try these goals, even if I don’t succeed. ^_^

Disco in my mind

Dance has been a big part of my life, at least since I was ten years old. I went to dance lessons and learned different dance styles. I stuck with ballet until the end, as it was undeniably my favourite style. But what of the others?
The two other major styles I did were jazz and tap dance. I loved tap dance, but it was the most “boring” to me. I wasn’t so quick on my feet and it got a bit difficult. At the time, I had to quit because I needed to focus on my studies. :(
Eventually, I had to give up jazz as well. I enjoyed it so much – but I hadn’t progressed with it as far as ballet. I know that if I were to go back, I’d have to work on performance and technique together. I can perform with no troubles, give it my all, but in that, I can’t focus on the steps so well. And I can get the technique right, every step effortless, but perhaps the strain shows a bit on my face, especially with a dance style so fast paced. I still have the urge to tap my feet when I wear heels or boots.
Still – I love the energy that comes bursting out of me when I listen to music the likes of ELO and who knows what. Evil Woman instantly gets me skipping on my feet, clicking my fingers and kicking my legs. For a while now, I’ve been meaning to hunt for a disco studio or something – some place where they play 70s & 80s music, where everyone wears bell-bottoms and crazy colours.
Or, I wish there was a disco ball in my room. *__*
