yay philly swing dancing!
Feb. 19th, 2006 08:30 amso, i did drag myself out dancing last night. i'm pretty amazed i went, considering that it was FREEZING cold last night... and i really wanted the rest of the evening to veg out at home with angus next to me and the heat on full blast. but i really am glad i went. i only danced 5 or 6 songs, not enough to even break a sweat, because i only knew a handful of people there and it was PACKED... but i did get to hang with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
swingdoc and partytom, and dance with nandoasti for the first time in YEARS. yay!
my philly dance crush was there last night... this is the guy i had the awesome dance with at the living room swing dance xmas party back in december, who looks just like my ex D except taller and an amazing dancer. and of course i dorked out and couldn't get up the guts to ask him to dance, no matter how much moneyswingdoc was willing to give me to do it. the couple of times that he was nearby and i'd start to walk over, some cute young teeny thing would grab his hand and lead him out on the floor, and i'd feel like an ass. ugh. so, the funny thing is, later in the evening he went up and took the mic to make some announcements, and i made the connection between his first name and the full name of the guy who was co-running the dance. "hrm, i wonder if he's so-and-so..." i thought. so when i got home, i googled him out of curiosity, to see if he was the guy running the dance... and holy CRAP, he's beyond that. it seems that i have chosen to have a dance crush on a nationally known swing dance teacher, who judges national dance competitions. he's BIG. it's like a novice skater having a crush on elvis stojko. so the only thing now that could make him more out of my reach would be if he were married or gay. great. although i'm not going to worry about that, i need to somehow work up the courage to ask him to dance again first!
so, a good night. got to hang with my peeps, dance a few songs, and feel a teeny bit more comfortable in the philly lindy scene. i need to go out dancing more and feel in tune with my body again... between this extra weight and my lack of dance practice, i feel like i've set my dancing ability back 5 or 6 years. so, that's my goal for the year: get back into shape, and become a decent dancer again.
