Dancing in the street....

Last Sunday, the Wednesday club joined Disco Loco and spent an hour or so on a dancing tour of the Rocks. Meeting at Circular Quay, we put on the head phones and danced our way to the Harbour Bridge.

 

There was a couple on our tour who were really into it, and really wild dancers so that made it easier to throw away the inhibitions and just enjoy it. Like Augusten Burrough's says in This is How, if you just focus on the task directly infront of you, everything else just falls away (he says it better but that's the gist).

I found if the song was good, then I didn't notice what the onlookers were doing or care if they were laughing or snapping pics. We had dressed up on 80's or sparkles so were quite a sight as we boogied past all the Sydney icons. 

What I did find unexpectedly difficult, was dancing and moving forward at the same time. I kept feeling I would trip or ended up sort of skipping. It's was weird. A few of my friends also struggled with this. 

There are stops for trivia and a quick drink at the narbour View Hotel, but even though the distance isn't far, you got your heart rate up and at times a little out of breath. 

At the end, one of my friends said "I'm glad I did that, that was really pushing me out of my comfort zone" which is the whole point of the Wednesday Club, to explore new things.

We all had fun, though some of us were more self conscious of the audience. For me, like always, even though I'm shy and introverted when the music hits, I get lost in the dance!

It was the most Sydney thing to be dancing to Cher past the Opera House....

Linking with #MondayMusicMovesMe. While I really like this Cher song, on opposite music, I too am not a huge fan of classical. I do go once a year to what I call 'classical for dummies' - it's usually a shorter concert, maybe just over an hour and usually Gershwin so not entirely sure he counts as classical. This weekend I went to Electric Fields with the Sydney Symphony. So while not technically classical, it did have a orchestra so I'm counting it....added a glimpse at the end of the post. Apparently they're releasing the album with the Melbourne Symphony this week....
