In response to Jamie Ridler's Wishcasting Prompt of September 15, 2010.
I did not even have to ponder this prompt for one minute. I would love to have an unbelievable confidence in myself as a dancer.
Having only been a student of dance for a little more than a year, I still feel so intimidated on the dance floor. I am speaking of studios and showcase dance floors. I feel right at home at nightclubs, when the lights are turned down low and the dancers are fighting for space on the tiniest of floors, but on a stage with an audience. I am sweating just thinking about it.
But to come out of my shell in the area of dance, would be a dream. I do not feel that I am a showy person, that exudes confidence and grace. But to be one with my body and the music and my dance partner, would be such a personal accomplishment. To be as graceful as the reeds blowing in a breeze. I am looking for the courage to take that step and to know that I will not pass out cold when I step onto the dance floor. Wish me luck as I crawl from my shell in the next few months....
