Trying New Things

Last week Kaili and Alyssa decided to try out Latin dancing and came home raving about it. There is a community center that gives lessons for an hour and then has open dancing. So Kaela and I decided that we were going to try it out this week.

Tuesday came along and I was debating whether or not I actually wanted to try it. Organized dancing isn't really my thing. I love dancing when I am in control and can do whatever I want. I am not very coordinated so I struggle with footwork and spinning and everything else. So I decided I was not going to go and then of course I ended up there.

It wasn't bad. I thought it was interesting. But I didn't like it. There is one thing to check off my list. I have attempted Latin dancing.

Now on to country dancing.

I have three different stories.

1) My freshman year I had a good friend named Nat who invited me to go country dancing with her. I went twice and both times were train-wrecks. She was chasing a boy named Jord (who she ended up marrying) and because I was shy and didn't know anyone else, I got preyed upon by the creepers. I was terrible at dancing and didn't have fun. I vowed I would never go again.

2) Last winter Andi and I promised Bill that we would go country dancing with him and his buddies. I wasn't too excited but Bill is one of my really good friends and I knew that he would make it fun. The night comes for us to go...and I bail. I couldn't do it and his begging couldn't even change my mind.

3) Monday night Kaela and I drove out to Lewiston to watch the fireworks. We met up with Bill and some other people and Kaela brings up Latin dancing for Tuesday night. Bill says he wants to try it out and then brings up the instance last winter when I dogged country dancing. So once again I was committed to going with him and this time I couldn't bail.

That was last night.

And yes, I will admit that I actually had fun.
