My First Love

I have this dirty, little secret that I am about to reveal and I am going to shout it all out in 5..4..3..2..1..

I LOVE TO DANCE! I MISS DANCING! I WANNA DANCE AGAIN!

I've been watching dance videos non-stop in the last 2 hours (but our internet is crawling at this hour so I am able to watch only 3 videos in the span of 2 hours...haha) and as much as I want to hide it, I simply can't. So there, I've finally spilled the beans. I've been into dancing since I was a kid. From the tune of macarena to mmmmbop, sha-lalalala to hot in here in the early 20s. And I wanna dance again. It's been years since I actually danced a full song in front of a crowd. But I do have this strange thing. I usually dance in front of the mirror when no one's around. Haha. Sorry, but you can't just run away that easily from your first and true love.

The closest thing I have to dancing presently is teaching action songs to our kids in GK during GK activities. I'm not complaining or anything. The feeling of being able to teach a thing or two to these kids, returned with hugs and kisses and "sipon" is priceless, but I wanna dance away in wild abandon like I usually do back then. Break a move, learn new steps, twist your head, shake your booty. Something like that or even more. Not until recently have I accepted that there's no way that I can be able to get rid of the feeling that I wanna dance again. And I don't want to. So I'm looking for dance studios who are offering the cheapest dance lessons on weekends. Hmmmm. But I have yet to save for it and this would be my "first" formal dancing lessons ever. So I want to prepare for it. I even included it in my must-do list for 2011. Thinking about it makes me all giddy and excited! Sigh, this must be LOVE. Reminiscing about it brings out all the good memories I had with dancing and so let me leave you with the only decent photo I have while dancing onstage. And a STEP UP 2 video of their final dance that I'll be watching to cap the night. Enjoy!
