Reasons to Dance #2



I started a new set on Flickr called 'Reasons to Dance'. Instead of focusing on reasons NOT to dance, I'm focusing on reasons to dance. Right now my feet hurt from dancing. But that's a good sign. It means my body has noticed I'm doing something new.
Reason #2 To get rid of the knots I got from sitting in front of the computer all day.

Burlesque Night







I love all kinds of dance so I wasn't going to miss an opportunity to go to a burlesque show in Fullerton, CA last night. I took some photos and I'll put some of the milder ones here. I do love the costumes. I wish the music had been more appealing. No flash photography was allowed but I think the blurs add to the feel of it anyway. I think the name of the group was Shimmy and Shake but don't quote me on that. It was late and my head was in a fog.

The Midnight Hour

The lovely thing about being alone tonight is I got to do my workout at midnight, something I never would have done if someone was trying to get some sleep in here. And at least for the moment, the living room is cleared out enough to dance in. I'll try to keep it clear, but my boyfriend is so often at cross purposes with that. He starts projects in there and doesn't clear them away for days. I thought I'd miss him more but I'm thrilled to have the space. For the last month his new bike (in pieces) has been parked in the living room. He only moved it because my daughter and son-in-law came to visit, and we had to fold out the sleeper sofa. It frustrates me that he won't do it just for me, but he'll do it for company. Every time I clear a dance space he fills it with boxes because 'there is no other place to set them down'. Well, where would he have set them if I didn't just clear a 10x10 foot space? I don't know if non-dancers will ever understand how much we need space we can work out in.
