Bucket list item…or how I plan to overcome my recent dance phobia….

If you recall, there are quite a few items on my Bucket List, the list I wrote a couple weeks ago had 83 items and I have since increased that list to 102 items. It’s amazing what you can dream when you read other people’s blogs and stories and get inspired by their journeys.  By reading other people’s lists, I found many items on theirs that I realized I would like to try and that is how I increased my number to over 100.
So, to make sure I’m not just adding things but also subtracting, I’ve decided to look through my list and see which one(s) I could accomplish.  There are a few here and there that jumped to mind but then LivingSocial came to my rescue with a $40 package of pole dancing classes (a $244 value).  After checking out the location to ensure it was in a location that I would actually attend, I have decided to purchase this package and see what it’s all about.  I get 8 classes out of the deal, which is a good month’s worth so that should give me a good idea if this is something I would want to pursue further.  I hear it is an excellent workout and what future hubby wouldn’t want his new wife to have some enhanced dancing skills!
Although I am adventurous, I must admit that taking these classes terrifies me.  Not because I am afraid of dance, I used to be on a dance team in high school and some college, but it’s the weight issue.  I am a chunky monkey right now and know I will feel insecure trying to do something one usually only sees slender, beautiful women doing (at least that’s the movie portrayal).  But, I am telling myself it will not only be a great source of exercise, but I will also cross something off my list, learn and appreciate a new skill, and build up my confidence in myself.  A trifecta of awesome.
Here goes nothing…
