Dance class was small today as well. That was the trend for the entire week. I suppose the Saturday workshop caused people to skip some of the classes this week. Rest and recoup you prancing people and return to the movement when the spirit does allow! For now, it means those of us who are attending are getting almost private lessons.

I'm moving and dancing well. I keep noticing that I've been filing away dances that I have mastered--that they are recalled clearly. When I completely master a dance, it is almost like I leave my body and I watch me do the dance from outside. It's a distinct feeling and I've noticed it over the past few weeks as I've mastered more dances. I seem to drop the thinking about the steps and the patterns--all of those elements merge and disappear. I am left with just the dancing.

I've also seemed to have figured out what I need to do about when to eat, what to eat, and when to ingest my daily green tea latte--so that I am at my best during the classes. Each day is slightly different since the classes all start at different times and vary in length. The days with no classes are also important--they provide time to rest and recoup and are just as important as class days.

Friday doesn't have a clear etymology like the other days of the week. It is linked more with Venus and to an early goddess named Frigg. Fry Day works for me--making a vague reference to the old Catholic tradition of not eating meat on Friday, but eating fish instead. After all, the apostles were fishermen! Seems to beat having a "day of Frigg" on the calendar!
