It has been a while, a long while since I have danced. Aside from a hurt knee that I have been babying and strengthening, I had no desire to dance, choreograph or listen to music which would inspire me to want to do all of the above. About a week ago I saw a belly dancer dancing and the way she moved was so breathtaking that it brought back so many awesome memories. Watching her dance, move gracefully about the floor, twisting, shimmering and contouring her body in a very controlled, fluid motions made me want to dance along side with her.
That same day I tried dancing and boy what a disappointment it was. Though I can still move my torso fairly well. My legwork needs so much improvement, especially turns and bends, which require knee and back use. I’m so glad to have seen her dancing because she has inspired me to go back to dancing. And thanks to Pink’s new song ‘Sober’ I’m working on dance choreography.
