Confirmed: balance is lousy

That’s what I noted in my first post about tap dance. Taking this photo—trying to show off the shoes—was tricky!



But I am having so much fun doing this. It’s for my mental health as much as anything. I just feel giddy in my shoes in the studio, listening to the sound of feet stomping, even as I try to avoid seeing myself in the mirror!

With some of the most recent cheque from my side hustle (I consider it all fun money, although most of this recent one went to necessary stuff) I decided to treat myself to some gear just for dance—a ballet wrap, and because leotards are misery due to my long torso (seriously my “girth” measurement—shoulder to crotch and back—is 4” longer than leotards that come closest to my other measurements) I got a skirt with built in shorts. Technically it’s a tennis skirt, but it was cheap! Both pieces together came to $50, just enough to qualify for free shipping, yay!
