Jacqui's Journey
Let the Dance Begin
15th November 2008
The first in (hopefully) a series of entries, describing a follower's journey into the world of Tango from Modern Jive.
The world of Ceroc filled a desperate gap in my life when I needed it, and the addiction has grown now to other genres of dance. For a while I have been totally engrossed in watching couples tango at various freestyle evenings and I find myself sitting and observing and being mesmerized by this style of dance more and more.
Having toyed with the idea of starting tango classes I now feel ready to take on a new challenge. Being prone to putting pen to paper and writing my thoughts to justify my feelings, I have decided to diarise my new venture, and so I begin.
Where to start?
I have researched, Googled, listened to advice until my brain is on overload.
So many choices, everyone it seems, has a different recommendation and they are all plausible and valid.
Then there are other aspects to consider:
- days that are viable
- times that are suitable
- venues that are accessible
- together with the fact that if I do these extra lessons something has to give, my husband who has an aversion to anything dance related would not be happy for me to vanish for yet another night of self-indulgence, which means Ceroc freestyles will have to be cut down.
Ho hum, why can't utopia be a real place where we can all self indulge 24/7 and still fulfil all our responsibilities?
Oh such trials and tribulations and I haven't even started yet!
