Today was the fifth line dancing class I’ve attended and I’m starting to get the hang of it. I wasn’t exhausted from the mental effort at the end of the beginner’s hour and was quite enjoying it. Then we started to learn a dance in waltz time. I think I must have 8 feet! 🦑💃🏼

That mental effort is what frees you from any stress you may have. I used to study dance and while taking a class all of my problems would disappear. And dancing is fun too. Bravo.

I did line dancing as a teenager. It was fun! The “electric slide” was popular in the late 90s, but it seemed most of line dancing was done to country western music.

@poetalegre Yup, too right! I used to find that as a schoolteacher too — I was so busy focusing on work that other things disappeared — at least for a while. I've never been able to dance but am enjoying this class and am starting to 'get' some of the steps. 😀

@Cheri I'm finding it fun and pleased to see that over several weeks I've made some progress. I know I'll get better. When I first learned to drive a car there was so much to do what with the clutch, accelerator, gear stick etc all at the same time! Now of course I can drive without even thinking.
