Addiction
I have come to the conclusion that I have an addictive streak in me. Take piano for instance. Most adults would be content to just play for their own enjoyment, whenever they could find the time. Not me. When I returned to the piano in my early 30s, I started taking lessons again, theory classes, and spent hours at the piano getting my grades 9, 10 and ARCT.
Now it's dance that has me in its clutches. I can't be content to take one class a week. Along with my regular ballet, jazz, modern and flamenco classes, I keep throwing new ones into the mix. A few weeks back it was belly dancing. This morning it was salsa. A guy from Cuba was in town giving a workshop, so I though, 'Why not? I'll give it a shot.' It was SO much fun. Now of course I want to learn more. I have to restrain myself. I do, after all have kids, a husband and a full-time job that I need to pay some attention to. But I have to tell you that if I had my way, I'd be taking several hours of dance classes every day. Doesn't that sound like an addict to you?
The dance that I have been waiting for a very long time to try, but haven't yet had the opportunity, is tango. To me, everything that one can encounter in life shows itself in tango. Some day.....(sigh)
