I started taking dance classes a little over a year ago, and I loove it. The desire comes from my heart; I can almost feel it burning. Over five years ago, I started thinking I wanted to dance. I used gaze through the windows of an advanced ballet studio near an office where John once worked. So much grace and raw, composed effort. Too newbie for that studio, I went by myself to this mildly depressing studio in a Pacific Palisades, CA strip mall. A beginner’s jazz class, I walked in feeling awkward and left feeling worse. The teacher was horrible; I don’t even think she looked at me once. I didn’t know what to wear (fyi – not shorts), and I had the wrong shoes (fyi – not sneakers). I felt invisible, unwelcomed and absolutely talentless. I unfortunately decided I was wrong about dance.
