Help ME DANCE!!!



Recommended Posts

OK, I need some help here!!!

I have always loved to watch those people that can dance so beautifully it looks like they are floating... With my current weight loss, my confidence is rising and my hubby's friends have been wanting to go dancing. I have NO idea how or what to do and I feel like a HUGE clown when I do try to dance.

Is there any such thing as a video that could teach me a little so I won't look like a complete idiot.

I am talking about the 2-Step or whatever... I Just need HELP!!!

THANKS!

Heather - great minds think alike!

I recently inquired about private instructions here in my area.... just me and hubby would be there. I dont think Mike (my DH) would do a video at home. Kids wanting to "help", phone ringing, clothes to put to dry, dinner waiting to be made, etc.... you know! Over in my neck of the woods, our instructor is charging $25 a lesson, and based on US, we determine how many lessons we need. Some need 2 lessons and have enough to make it happen, others like the challenge and continue on to competitions. Me and Mike just want to learn enough to have fun on the weekends.

I lOvE to dance. Great excercise too! Let me know what you find.

here in the dfw metroplex, there is lots and lots of classes at local nightclubs. some for free, some like $10. there are also classes by different groups, like $29 for 3 weeks, etc. go to yahoo groups, see if there are local 'dance' announcement or groups there. i found lots in dfw. also, just try a search for 'dance lessons houston' or any variation thereof.. just some things i did to find local classes in my area.. :( Have fun!

check out your local community colege or your parks and rec department. Ballroom dancing is so much fun. Okay, any kind of dancing is so much fun.

Some of the country bars in Houston have days during the week where they have 2-step and line-dance lessons. You should call up a few and check it out. I know how you feel. My husband likes to 2-step (not fast dance) and I used to when I was around 19-20 but actually I have evolved and can hardly tolerate country music and for the pass 2 months we have been going to a bar in Webster called Big Texas and the more I drink the happier I am and I start to not pay attention to the music! :heh: I am more of a rocker now listening to bands like Seether, Evanesence and more adult alternative rock. Yeah I still like some of the older country from the early 90's but lately I haven't been that impressed. But I will run to the dance floor when they play dance music like the Black Eye Peas, Usher, etc. :dance: And I have to say that I was in the best shape of my life when I use to fast dance...so I look forward to the fast music coming on so I can get out there and dance!!:dance: And work up an awesome glisten (sweat is such a dirty word :( )! I hope you are able to go out with your hubby and dance the night away soon!

Heather.....I went to the Big Texas website and saw that they give free dance lessons on Saturdays, if you are interested check it out! There is also a Big Texas in Spring if that is closer to where you are. The one in Webster is just 10-15 minutes from me. Hope this helps! :biggrin1:

Oh oh .. back in the day I was the 2 step queen lol. This was like in high school though.

Definitely go for a few private lessons. It will so boost your self confidence.

2 step is easy and its one of those dances where its nearly impossible to look like a clutz, thankfully, as I have no rhythm whatsoever lol.

Kathy, I'd love to be able to dance to black eyed peas and the like, but again, have no rhythm so just sit and bob my head lol. Desperately want to learn how to do some of the newer dance stuff to go clubbing once in a while...

:omg: Oh my goodness....Parvathi! Girl if you have the rhythm to 2-step then you can club dance. Everyone does something different, no one is the same. Although I do have the types of friends that love dirty dancing at clubs but then all you have to do is pretend to be making out on the dance floor!!! :( And DH loves it because they are women friends!!! LOL! SO just go out there and own it! Do what makes you feel good and the rest comes naturally. :biggrin1:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
