Dance class went well today--one of the best days that I've had since I started going to classes here. I knew most of the dances, danced them smoothly, and didn't come away feeling whipped. In a couple of the dances, I felt like I was in the flow--not just doing the steps. Music and movement and me became one.

I slept okay last night, but still was up and down a few times. I slept in after waking around 7am and went out for a late breakfast of a bagel and latte. I napped for a while and went back out for lunch.

I was nearly the first person to arrive at the class. I kept the dance socks on my shoes even though today's class has the slickest floor. For some reason, my footing felt more solid today even with the socks. I could glide more and make smooth moves between steps. Perhaps, the circuit exercises that I've been doing are also helping stabilize my movements and steps--affecting my leg muscles. For whatever reasons, today was a banner day in terms of my dancing.

I dreamed last night that I was visiting a couple and their kids who had bought a house that I once owned. The place was kind of ramshackle when I owned it--and the couple had not done much in terms of making it better. They were just living in the place, enjoying the openness it provided, and having fun. I was with my spouse and family so our visit doubled the number of people in the place. We had turned up on their doorstep unannounced, but they were happy to see us and extended their hospitality. The kids, theirs and ours, were happy to have someone to interact with who were around their age. It was a pleasant dream--filled with warmth and brightness.

Dance class again tomorrow--with the better instructor. Looking forward to continuing the flow that I felt today.
