The Next Stage Begins.

On Monday me and Serena had our first real lesson together for dancing.

Personally i feel it was very helpful for me. Between Serena and Shelda (who was supervising us) i think i learnt a great deal in the two hours i was there. I am trying to take in stuff as quickly as i can and so far am having no major troubles with anything.

Its a bit difficult to remember the steps for so many things. But that said, i find i do a better job if i just go and *do it* in appose to thinking about what i am doing. When i am concentrating on my timing, or the type of steps i am making, i tend to just do the steps without thinking. A much better way of doing it. :) I also need to get Serena to slap me when i start looking at my feet, every time i stop doing that i straight away start doing better.

My new dancing shoes defiantly helped too. Trying to dance in sneakers is really hard, simply because they are always trying to grip when your trying to slide. Made life much much easier for me straight away.

The social side is great too. I pretty much know most of the people in the studio now, so I am comfortable being there and doing stuff. The first few times i was a bit nervous, simply because i didnt know half the people and i am a shy kinda person. But its all good now, really great fun.
