I will dance...

When I lived in Saskatoon, I went to "The Big Fat Ass Dance Class" (Big Fat Ass not required, but it helps) for about 3 years.  It was an amazing place (with no mirrors) and I loved every minute of it because I could just move to music in a variety of ways.  I didn't feel self conscious because everyone there was in the same boat and as nice as it is to dance alone at home (we all do it), dancing with others is amazing (although I was always uncomfortable having to dance touching people, I don't like that).

When I saw this trailer for a new documentary about a dance troupe, some of what they said really resonated with me.



I am not a good dancer, like these teens but it doesn't matter because quality is not really what dance has to be about.  Joy in movement can come in many forms.

  1. Is this going to be a real movie, in theatres? This is my all time favourite kind of movie. It's been my dream for a long time to do something like that in my neighbourhood. Maybe some day.
