Whew, What A Way I've Come!

Good Morning All!

Reading back over my last post and realizing what a long way I've come in the last 2 months....

I've now been off the anti-depressants for about 6-7 weeks - no one told me to, I just took myself off them. I'm doing okay so far! I think the fact that I'm now getting out and about more is also a big help.

On Thursday I had my 7th Ceroc session, and it just seems to get better and better every time I go! For the uninitiated, Ceroc is a "stylish form of Modern Jive which is a fusion of Salsa and Jive that is easy and fun to learn." (www.ceroc.com) Hell yes! =o)

It's fantastic, it really is. When I first started going with Caron, I just used to sit and watch the classes and then join in the Freestyle. Now I've bought a pair of specialist dance shoes and hate having to sit and watch, esp. when everybody else is dancing! The best bit is that when you start going regularly, you get to know people and get to know who you dance well with and who you don't. There's one old guy I danced with and he didn't shut up the whole dance about how I was holding my hands wrong and spinning too quickly and not letting him lead etc etc...people like that you learn to steer clear of, because all they do is knock your confidence! There's one guy I dance with every week, Ian, and he's a dream because he's not afraid to try out new moves and teach them to me; he makes me laugh the whole way through; he dances divinely; and we get along like a house on fire! It's people like him who make it so much fun. You're meeting new people and learning something new....what better way to spend an evening? =o)

Both Ian and Caron have said that I'm good enough to move up to the Intermediate class (waaaagh!), so when Ian gets back from Spain (getting Ceroc lessons while he's on holiday - I'm soooooo jealous!) the week after next, I'll be joining him with the Intermediates. OOooooooooh! *lol*

Caron's on a Ceroc weekend with Dean (another sweetie who I enjoy dancing with) and Dave, and I'll be joining them on the next one in September - can't wait! =o)

Here's hoping things carry on this way!

xXx
