So I have promised myself that I am going to take dance lessons this spring. I got the idea because when I went to a wedding of a friend of mine, I did not want to dance with my girlfriend because in part I was very tired and my legs and feet hurt from driving all day, but also because I do not dance well. She was really disappointed, so to make it up to her, I figured I would take her dancing for her birthday. My fist task is finding a dance studio or something to learn that will not empty my wallet. I checked with the Chicago Neighborhood Directory but did not find too much in my price range. I circled a couple but I think I will have to move on to the yellow pages. A friend of mine has agreed to be my dance partner because she wants to dance too which is a huge relief. I would dread going to learn how to dance and having to do it with someone who I did not know. I guess I am way to self conscious about that. I am hoping that this will help in releasing my inhibitions.
