Some nights you just blow...

Arc

Last night something horrible happened to me: i didn't want to dance, girls were inviting me and i was only mindlessly doing patterns, and later whne i found the motivation to invite girls i already danced with before, i, to put it simply, sucked.

it's not the first time it happens to me, my mind was busy thinking about some troubles in my life and i tought salsa could help me stop thinking about it but the opposite happened.

Do you feel that way sometimes?

Usually once I am the club, music, lights, people, I am able to forget about everything and just enjoy and have fun dancing. I feel bless that I can get into it to the point that is a pure time of relaxation.

This however does not happen during practice, if something major is going on in my mind I struggle to keep it out long enough so I can concentrate in my dancing, sometimes half way a pattern, I stop and apologize and take a 5 second walk and come back hoping that my mind is able to concentrate this time

aaawwww... Piel.. *hugs*
Sorry, i just had this vision of u doing that, couldn't resist.

I do get this sometimes, could be i'm not warmed up right, concentrating, maybe i've not eaten and it's my minds way of telling me my body needs fuel. Thats a thought.
But yeah, if something is really troubling me, it can bother me enough to where i don't enjoy the atmosphere as much. The dancing is fine, but the euphoria that comes with it is not even up there. It just helps me go numb for a while i guess.

It happens to a lot of people - Like Piel I generally just try and forget whats going on in my life and just enjoy the moment of dancing. However, if I have had an exceptionally rough day then sometimes I can't foget and it affects my dancing. WHen that happens I'll just sit and listen to the music and then wait for a really good song to come on and then invite someone to dance that I comfortable with - and then lead basic moves - do a lot of shines and then slowly start increasing the intensity of my dance. But its all good - just get back out there!!
 
I had a night like this last Thursday - I think it was primarily tiredness on my part.
I was in class for 5 minutes and couldn't do any of the moves; so rather than spoil it for the ladies that could do them, I called it quits and left the lesson.
I hung around though and had some nice dances afterwards - it was much easier to free-style than be taught that evening :)
