A few years ago I started going to a hip hop dance class, and I loved it!

I’ve loved dancing since I was very young but had never taken any classes.

At first, I was a bit uncomfortable with all the counting and following along; although I’m very good at freestyle dancing. It was pretty awkward and confusing at first watching the teacher in the mirror!

But I hung in there the best I could :-)

It was an excellent class and a great way to get out of my comfort zone for sure.

I noticed that the nicer and easier I was with myself the quicker I was able to pick up the steps.

Sure, I’d catch myself here and there getting frustrated that I’d missed a move, but I quickly reminded myself to have fun! I mean that was the point of taking the class, to have fun!

I’m active with resistance training 3-4 times a week, but I wanted to add some upbeat fun cardio to the mix.

You’re not going to find me on the treadmill!!

Besides being super fun, dancing...
