The Dancing Me

I joined a Latin aerobic trial class last Thursday, signed up for it and another class on Wednesday morning.  Last Thursday was Mambo-Cha Cha Cha combination.  This morning we did some hip hop.  After both class, I sweat like crazy -- even after shower, changed and while walking all the way back to my office.  When I got to my desk, my staff and colleagues would be laughing and teasing me -- the girl who wants to lose weight.  Not that I care.  They are right - I AM trying to lose weight.  And having such 'crazy' classmates is really a bonus -- makes the class more interesting than the ones I join in mYoga and Celebrity Fitness.  =)

A few minutes ago, I got a call from the instructor.  What she said really makes my day:

"Hani, you really can dance!  I saw you in Latin, you can dance very nicely.  This morning we did hip-hop, you also can dance.  You know, for most people they can only dance the soft dances like Latin, and some can do only the hard ones -- like hip-hop la.  But you can do both.  With the right attitude for the dance even.

I never called up my students to tell them this, but I just have to tell you.  It's really hard to get someone like you.  Normally those who can dance to all tunes are people who spend most of their lives dancing.  Like a professional dancers or instructors.  Not someone with a desk job like you.  You're really talented.

What I appreciate most is you set a new standard for my classes.  Now I notice even my regulars are trying to copy the attitude you put into the dance.  I've been trying to make them do it for many months, but you joined only two classes and they're already doing it.

I'm so proud of you.

Sorry if I bug you at work, but like I said, I just have to let you know this."

It was a one-way conversation, she didn't even bother to let me talk.  Not that I could say anything.  I was speechless them entire 20 minutes.  I still don't know how to reply.  Hey, don't blame me, nobody ever said anything like this to me my whole life, ok?

I guess this is all I can say: "Thanks Novem".  *blush*
