Note to self: DANCE

Christine Hennebury

I took a really fun dance workshop over the weekend.

The instructor Vanessa combined elements of Samba and Capoeira to create a class that was the good kind of challenging – difficult enough to keep me focused but relaxed enough to make me laugh when I messed up.

After the workshop, I swear I could feel every muscle in my body, I was sweaty, I had a huge smile on my face, and I thought ‘I need to do this more often!’

And then I had a good laugh at myself.

There is literally nothing stopping me from dancing for fitness more often except that I keep forgetting how much I like it.

So, this post is a note-to-self:

More dancing = More fun.

PS – My YouTube search for ‘fun dancing’ provided this marvellous video. Enjoy!

A YouTube video from The Fitness Marshall called ‘Throwback Dance Workout with Mom and Grandma: Whip It.’ The still features three dancers in green t-shirts and black pants against a purple background.
