#21 take tap dance classes

tapshoes03.jpg

it hasn't been easy. and my body resisted even before I strapped on my tap shoes. but then I would be embarrassed and realize that it's okay. I would forget and slip and almost fall and still laugh. I would remember voraciously watching musical movies from the early 50s when I was a film student. and for that one hour every Monday night, I would feel a few steps closer to Fred, Gene and Judy. a few steps closer to the free spirit that I aspire to be.

Lovely, lovely. I wish I could be in that tap dance class with you. I'd be falling as well, but it would be a heck of a lot of fun!
