Sing like no one is listening -- Dance like no one is watching...

Song of the moment: Mario - "Let Me Love You"

It's funny how certain songs have the ability to evoke emotions. I finally downloaded enough new music to make a new CD for class, which was definitely needed. I was getting a bit tired of the other ones, and needed a new bolt of energy, but I digress. Class last night made me feel good for a change. Where I teach dance is kind of hit or miss -- usually classes in gyms don't fly because people primarily come for the weights and machines. I don't usually see too many muscle-bound folks eager to get their groove on, so you can imagine the difficulty. When folks don't come, I get a bit discouraged because dancing is so rewarding to me, and sharing with others that appreciate it makes it even more so. Last week, Dee-ray, my sister and I were the only ones there. But last night, some folks came through and we had a lot of fun. The regulars that come are great and I am so happy they stick it out with me. One of them goes "I sooooo needed this class this week. If my sister wasn't so sick last Tuesday, I would have come. I hate that I missed it." Damn. Much love and respect for that :) I guess if I only get one person that comes to dance, it's fine. Just knowing that it brightens someone's day (including mine) is enough for me.
