Breakthrough--went to dance tonight and experienced a breakthrough. I was totally at ease during the dance--and could feel myself gliding and moving smoothly with each song and dance.

I rested today--and didn't go to class. I ate a lot--had several meals including a calamari/pasta dish at the BBQ place. I also made sure I had two doses of caffeine--and that my medications were not being absorbed by food.

I also drove to the dance and back--starting around 6pm and returning at 10:30pm. That is the longest night drive that I've done since I moved here--in fact it may be the only night drive that I've made.

During tonight's dance I experienced almost no PD symptoms--I had some hesitation with cha cha steps but found that I could easily do everything else.

The instructor needed 20 paying dancers to make the venue a success--which is how many people showed up. The floor was funky looking--but was smooth and easy on the feet.

I think I discovered that classes are more stressful than actual dances--which seems to explain some of my reactions after attending classes. More dancing required--and less learning how to dance!
