I’m going to hurt tomorrow.
Tonight was my first dance class in a few months, after taking time off to regroup and refresh. We’re learning floorwork this session, so it’s a lot of thigh and butt work. My teacher, Layla, took it easy on us but even so, I was all jelly-knees by the time I got home. I’ve been vegging for a few hours now and can feel the ache; the morning should be interesting.
I’m starting to get my interest in bellydance back. Layla mentioned she had a few shows lined up for us soon, and my ears pricked up at that. Of course, my main concern right now is whether or not I’ll fit into any of my costumes. Even that’s a good sign. As of September, I couldn’t wait for the season to be over so I didn’t have to worry about dancing or costuming or any of that. It feels rather good to care again.
Good luck! I know what it feels like to go back to something (active) you love after leaving it behind for a long time… painful!
