That sounds horribly familiar!

But what do I give up: tango? ceroc? west coast swing?
We just need more nights in the week! I'd love to learn WCS - it's a fab dance and I love the connection and "tension" in it. Nelson is teaching it on Mondays but I know it would just be too much so haven't done any of the classes. I fear I'd be back on a "dance treadmill" if I did and end up getting jaded. I took a three month break from all dancing a couple of years ago because it all started to feel too much - almost every evening and weekend was booked up months in advance and I wasn't taking any "down time". The break did me good and helped me fit dancing into my life a bit more sensibly.

It's wonderful isn't it - I can see years of delight learning AT, WCS, MJ and maybe other dances I've yet to discover. Life is good; dance and dancers play a huge part in making it so.
