Shake it

Two Wednesdays a month I help teach Special Needs Belly Dancing. I am in no way, shape, or form certified to teach belly dancing. My mind tells my hips to roll one way and my chest to roll another and it comes out resembling a slight seizure. I love that the athletes that participate don't care how crazy their dance moves look. They put their all in to every move. They love that the scarf around their hips make jingling noises. They like feeling like they're part of a group. So, I will shake it until the cows come home if it makes them happy...

My Sweet Jingly Belt... The belt I had 2 weeks ago didn't jingle and I was so bummed!!!

Arriba!

One Friday a month Altamonte Special Needs Recreation does a Night Bird Dance. It's a themed dance where the participators dress up as the theme and party all night (Well, not all night. Until 9pm but still it's a party!!). This month was Fiesta Friday. I was so busy dancing and having a good time that I didn't get a chance to take any pictures. Here is a video of the Valentine's Day dance where Shawn, one of my cheerleaders, and I got down with our bad selves.

Don't you wish you had moves like us??

Grab Your Partner and Dosey Doe

If you've ever lived or visited the South Eastern United States then I'm sure you've heard country music. Thursday nights at our local country establishment, Cowboys (believe it or not), is ladies night. That means free cover! My old roommate, Allie, and I try to go on the regular. Before we went out I had to take Royce for a walk. Does anyone know how to tire out a Mountain Cur Hound/Pit Mix????

A Gentle Leader and a weighed down dog backpack sure helps

After Royce was all tuckered out it was time to get our line dancing on.
