WAD update

I thought I'd mention here that I went to a WAD (West African Dance) class tonight and it was very enjoyable. We did a dance that I had done before in an Old Town School level 1 class. It's a slower song that is a "seduction" dance. There is a greater focus on the slighter, more isolated movements in the torso, and less in footwork and faster, more enthusaistic movements. It was good for me because I felt like I was able to focus more on dancing with the intention of it being a seduction dance (you know, trying to look pretty and graceful and whatnot) than trying to get all the moves. I also felt like I had a different idea of what the dance should look like, compared to some of the other dancers. It wasn't about, to me, being as enthusiastic as possible. There was something more than blatant exuberance to try express and convey. So this was fun and challenging in a new way.

Btw, I love WAD.
