Introduction:

I'm obsessed with Dancing, and I'm a newbie. This blog will be a place where I can make notes and observations, or ask questions to the community, as they come to me, and so as to not totally annoy my FB friends with this stuff.

The basic story is that I'm 39 years old, and other than the typical drunken bounce, I've never been a confident or regular dancer in my life.

I have, however, been doing Tai Chi, and various other martial arts for about 19 years.

Last month it struck me to try to leverage my Tai Chi with something interesting and unusual on the dancefloor, and so I mulled it over, gave it a few tries, and was generally frustrated.

It was about three weeks ago that I feel that for the first time I pulled it off, and it felt incredible.

So, this is the beginning of a process that has consumed nearly every one of my waking hours for several weeks. I know that there is an incredibly long way to go, so who knows how far I'll get, but for now, I'm doing, and I'm going to be writing.
