Jackie and the Talent show!



Here in Texas I have reconnected with one of my old loves, dancing.  When I was somewhere between four and five I started taking dancing lessons and continued until I was about 17.  I LOVED to dance and cannot imagine how much money my Mom and Dad spent on lessons and costumes.  I actually wanted to be a dancer at one time until I realized that I was not built to be a dancer...long legs are a must and constant practice. So I gave up my dreams of being a dancer and went on to wanting to be an airline stewardess (now called a flight attendant, I am showing my age).
SO, when I found out that I could taking clogging lessons here at Victoria Palms, I was overjoyed.  After just 50 years, I could start again.....:-)
I began taking lessons Jan. 2nd and have been going twice a week.  I cannot tell you what a workout it is....three hours of hard work and two Aleve when I get home...the legs are aching, but it is so much fun I would do it every day if I could.  I just hope that I can continue when I leave here.  The gals and guys in the class are so much fun and it has been so good for me.  I don't know if this clip will play or not on Blogger, if not, you can see the picture and get the idea. (If I can I will send you a link for the clip).  The Talent Show had a huge turnout and the audience really enjoyed the cloggers.  Not only is it good for the body, it is good for the soul to dance.
