so i think i may have decided to do something completely insane. i appear to be taking three dance classes a week for the next couple months or so. plus an additional class next week and the week after (2-session Argentine Tango! i'm so excited about this -- i bought these adorable low-heeled character shoes today for the class, whee!). i think i must be nuts. but i think it'll be good for me. really good for me.
i feel a little guilty about putting the Cthulhu run on hold, but i've been wanting to take bellydancing for forever. and it's only a couple months. and we could probably schedule a couple of weekend runs in there.
i wonder if i'm trying to make up for not being able to run Casablanca and not being able to be in High Society, or something. you know, weird drive to overbook myself. and my sideline music stuff may be going on hold because the guy i've been doing it with is probably going to be moving farther away from the city, out of T range. and he and his wife are also part of the kickass band i've been learning to run sound for, so who knows what will happen with that when they move. and i can't sing in any of the Zamir concerts until the one in early December, though i am so very happy that rehearsals have started up again. so maybe i'm turning to the dance classes as something concretely new and cool to do and work on. i do love dance, though.
thing is, i was going to just take bellydancing, because i wasn't feeling as enthusiastic about the tap, and tap was more expensive. but then i went to tap today, and it was great, and i remembered how good i am at it and how fun it is. i think i was just feeling unenthused because i hadn't been able to go to class for the few weeks (part of it the teacher was on vacation, and last week i had to skip it for ATF prep). so it looks like i'll be trying to start level 3 while taking backup level 2 classes. this is exactly the right time to make the transition -- if i wait, things will just get worse -- i'll still be bored in level 2, but i'll be even less ready for level 3. in any case, i've been on top of the class for both level 1 and level 2 without practicing at all, so perhaps if i practice for level 3 i won't be completely lost. but apparently level 3 goes really fast, which is why it's a good idea to take the backup level 2.
oops. dozed off there. i guess i was boring even myself.
