Dance Lessons--something new to do!!

I would love to write about something new I am trying or rather "doing." I started to take private dance lessons last week and have my second lesson shortly.  I just love to dance and decided it was time to take the big leap and learn how to dance with a partner.  My very first lesson I was very nervous.  It is in a real dance studio with a real dance instructor . I had on my running shoes and actually one shoe had a hole in the toe and so the lesson began.   I LOVED it and my instructor is wonderful . Yet I was still nervous... He started me off with the Waltz and wow this is quit difficult to do !! Dancers make it look soooo easy but there is a lot to think about, which was my problem . I was thinking too much!!  My instructor said to just feel the movements and he is the lead, not me.  Apparently I was trying to control the dance.....as the hour went by I began to feel more at ease and my legs started to not shake so much and my shoes were actually working ok.  So my next lesson, which begins shortly as I write this, I actually bought some lovely dancing black shoes and my clothing looks a bit more serious and I feel a bit more confident.   I am ready for another new lesson.  Something new and something different for me to further explore and exercise my loosening of fear and just relaxing and not trying to think too much.  If I think too much I loose the beat.....
