From dancing in the shower to jumping around the living room to my first ballet class since childhood dancing has healing powers. Dancing is an emotive art so it's no wonder a good dance session is often followed by a good cry, but these days that's pretty healthy for me.
Tuesday's dancing was a class. I took classes back in 2021 and then we moved farther away so I stopped. Living closer in again I am happy to be able to take them again. It's good for my soul and my soul could use some healing. 2 nights ago I took ballet and I was out of my depth. The website clearly said Ballet 1 is for people with 6 to 9 months of intro classes...but I haven't taken any intro classes, and so I signed up anyway. It was a work out, but it was great. For 60 minutes my mind was totally distracted from the chaos and heartbreak of my life and I was just free. And then after class reality hit like a ton of bricks and because I was in a place to be emotional there were tears, but I'm okay with that. I will take another ballet 1 class next week because I can follow a model and because you don't have to be good at your hobbies.
Yesterday I had Jazz, which also kicked my butt and was harder on my knees than I expected.
I'm starting with 5 classes a month to balance with the other things I'm trying to build into my life, and go from there. But I did knock another item off the bucket list in taking a dance class so progress.
