Learn Not To Lead

Happy Belated Halloween! It has been a crazy weekend here on G2nd to say the least. It was a busy weekend with various activities going. On Saturday, the Swing Dancing Club here at EU went to a Swing Club called SwingKat Ballroom on High. The experience was phenomenal! It was a costume party in honor of Halloween and there was a live band. The atmosphere was hopping as soon as people arrived and it was just an amazing feeling to be around so many people.
If you have ever done swing dance before, you know that there is a lead and a follow. Usually the female is the follow. This requires complete submission to the male when dancing which I will admit, is difficult. There are so many things to worry about when dancing including the placement of hands, the tension in between forearms, and also the safety of the girl when dipping. I dislike dipping strongly. I do not trust that anyone would be able to support my weight! But this past week, I just let myself free. I let the guy lead me, dip me, spin me, do whatever he wanted to do. This turned out to be one of the best nights since I have been at EU.
I guess I am tying all the lessons together here. Enjoy life's surprises and trust that in the end everything will work out. Enjoy life to the maximum and take risks. Life is too short to waste.

PS. 54 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! =)
