“If you're skating on thin ice, you might as well dance.” ― Anita Shreve

I love Groupon. It prompts me to try things I might not normally bother doing, because if I chuck it in, I haven't blown too much money. (My partner hates my frugal behaviour as he finds it embarrassing....but that's another story).

I signed up to a month's free lessons at a dance studio. I figure I only have to do one class a week to get my money's worth, but will aim for 2.

I'm going to try ballet, hip hop, African dance and everything else they offer. Just to see what it's like.

I need to point out I'm not very good with left and right - it's an optical issue not stupidity, by the way.

I really do not have very good co-ordination.

I maybe should have mentioned the above to my rather graceful friend who signed up with me. But I guess she'll work it out soon enough.

I have no appropriate fitness attire.

I am presuming I might look a little like this (without the outfit):


However, who knows, by the end of the month I might be more like this, or at least smiling like they are (and we know that dancing is the shortcut to happiness):


If nothing else, what I lack in talent and ability, I hope to make up for in enthusiasm.

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. - Japanese Proverb
