Dancing

I've always been very fond of music. I play several instruments, I listen to music constantly, I have a wide range of tastes.

But I had never really enjoyed dancing.

I always felt awkward. Out of place and self-conscious. Deathly afraid I'd look like a girl in front of my friends. So I just always avoided it.

I'd thought occasionally over the past year that the girl in me might really enjoy dancing. My deeply ingrained fear kept getting the better of me.

This past weekend though I had a revelation. I just did it - I was at the Gal's Spring Fling, my makeup and dress were fabulous, I was feeling great about myself, and I started to feel the music. I looked at my wife, our eyes connected and we headed straight for the dance floor.

I was hooked.

From the time the music started to after midnight, even though at the end of the night my feet were killing me from dancing in 3" heels, I couldn't stop. I had no structure, no "moves", I just flowed with the music, and the whole time felt like some crazy sexy freestyle artist.

My wife was shocked - she said, "Now we know, you're a girl!" All those years who knew I had this bottled up inside me. It felt amazing to let it out. So free.

And now, after years of disappointing my wife by never wanting to go out dancing I finally find myself intrigued and wanting to go out again.
