Grace

Re-vamping my lessons, attempting to add a level, keep it simple but make the difficulty appropriate. I've been busy, not busy enough. My thoughts stick on preparatory exercise, and there's no way to make sit-ups fun. I can elicit chuckles and giggles with grunts and groans, and by saying, "Alright, that is enough of those." Even though it's not enough by half, and I could spend a whole hour doing sit-ups, push-ups, jumping-jacks, punches, lunges, stretches. Dancing takes strength, strong legs, strong lungs, strong body. I do love belly dance because it is a dance for all women, regardless of age, weight, or body type. Athleticism is appreciated, be it fluid and light, or solid and powerful. Strength is grace, grace is strength.
