I've recently started a modern dance class on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. I've never taken a dance class in my life, but I've always been interested in it. I have a lot of mirrors in my home and I must confess I have fun just randomly creating free form dance moves when music comes on that gets me. Mind you, these are not moves that I would bust out at a club. They are probably a bit too out there for that scene. But it's always been one of my silly dreams to be able to perfectly copy the famous dance in Napoleon Dynamite.
So on to modern dance... It's only my 4th or 5th class but I'm really enjoying it. It is decent exercise (I'm sure it will get much more cardio and strength intense as I advance) but it's also a chance for creative expression through the body and a mental challenge. It reminds me of karate in many ways. It forces your mind and body to work together, creating new muscle memories and making you learn to do several opposing things at once.
I can't wait to get good enough to be in the advanced classes because they are filled with beautiful women and only a few men - most of whom are probably gay. Which means I have zero competition when I'm there. But who knows where I'll meet you? I'm hoping to get you on the phone soon..

Dancing is a very powerful self-expression I find. It is a kind of detoxifixation as well for me. You should dance until you are covered sweat all around. Maybe also a kind of love making.
I also got lessons in Paris; rock n roll, salsa, other latin dances and some ball dances. I loved them all. You must go "Barrio Latino" if you ever go to Paris. There a lof of people comes in any nationalities and urges you to dance:) You would probably love the ambiance as well:)
Do not give up!
