Bailamos ... Dance with me

A week has passed since the exam season was over. My last seven days were spent doing things that are deemed, "un-academic" in nature. These include hanging out with friends, partying, shopping, baking, exercising, dancing, cleaning, cooking, sleeping, doing research about the DPRK, Vladimir Putin's policies ( Wait, did I say "un-academic in nature" earlier on? Nevermind.) and the list goes on. Having done all that, I finally find myself going back to blogging. There is really nothing left to do *sigh. The last few days I have been I wishing my other half is here. At least with him around I could add "trying new food in Hamilton" into the list. He is my most favourite companion when it comes to eating and going out ...

Anyway, I am going to blog about my new found passion : Dancing. Last Monday and Wednesday, I attended my first Latin and Ballroom class. I must admit it is a pretty fun yet challenging class. It is fun in the sense that one gets to bring out one's artistic side when it comes to dancing. Moreover, you get to meet different people in the dance class. If you are looking to expand your social network, dance class might be a good venue to consider. Futhermore, my Latin dance class includes a trip to a local club. So do be jealous!

At the same time, joining a dance class is challenging as dancing requires one to gracefully move his or her body according to the music. It is really not easy for someone who never dance anything other than club dance like me. So, I have to allocate sometimes this weekend to review all the steps for salsa, merengue and rumba. It is a good way to exercise and to distract myself from the misery of boredom and loneliness (and sickness. I am down with flu for the time being. He is down with flu too the day i started mine. Talk about soul mates ). So who says dancing class doesn't have a homework :)
