Today, I'm grateful for my dance class. I really needed to move, which we did. We also did new things today because BDTT went to a Moroccan dance workshop over the weekend. In addition to a variation on a schikatt-style step, we did some trance-dance/hadra steps. Usually I find these a real challenge - remember that I'm a control freak, and while I can let go of my need to control other people, I do still have to be in control of my own self - but today it was much easier. I'm not sure if that's because I wanted to move or because I've engaged in some good personal growth, but either way, it was fun.
As an extra fun bonus, I was a belly dancer for Halloween (this was the first time in fifteen years or so that I wasn't a witch), so I took advantage of class to get one more wearing out of my costume. In the normal swing of things, I forget how much more fun it is to wear something interesting to class. I certainly had more fun looking at myself in the mirror, and I think it helped me get into the right frame of mind to dance better.
