comfort zones

C is great about pushing me out of my comfort zones and getting me to try new things. recently, she'd been going to house dance classes and after much persuasion, managed to get me along. am not the most coordinated of people and despite having danced as a child (ballet, tap etc) i chose swimming over dancing and never looked back. then again, part of me has always wondered if i'd have been better off with dance instead as the primary/secondary school i went to was the best nationally for dance and maybe 3rd / 4th at best when it came to swimming. but then in jc we won girls' A division the two years i was there, so maybe it was the long game ;) that said, dance is something i've always enjoyed more than swimming but unfortunately was never exceptional at. did pick up adult ballet for a bit in lawsch and have the occasionally clubbing foray that sees me bopping in a darkened room where no one really knows if you're in time or not. i suppose the point to this is that it was a good class despite the slightly scary instructress who didn't seem happy to have newcomers halfway through her eight week (?) class. that said, who can blame her! was not-so-secretly pleased i could keep up with the class until almost the end where my beginner's luck wore off and was condemned to leading the newcomers while the more advanced kids formed a cool kid circle and did more complicated steps.
