I have been blissfully ignorant of anyone having trouble since. <br /><br />Oh, I know who exercises like that! I mean, at Bikram, it is the norm because you sweat so much, the boys don't even wear tops, but other places? Eww!<br /><br />Cathy- you really really oughta try some ballroom stuff; it is just divine.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166527552362784957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-59861977507173918022012-01-31T13:20:35.317+11:002012-01-31T13:20:35.317+11:00Goodness, I have been trying to comment on this po...Goodness, I have been trying to comment on this post for ages, and it never lets my comment go through! I'm bound and determined to post this, though, even if it has been a while since it happened: <br /><br />In December, I went to a group exercise class with some friends. I showed up in workout shorts and a tank top, figuring that would be normal attire. I was the most covered up person there! Everyone was wearing booty shorts so tight and short I'd swear they were only wearing underwear. I felt so out of place! Who wears such things??Folly of Onehttp://follyofone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-30642471510680709422012-01-24T23:06:15.015+11:002012-01-24T23:06:15.015+11:00I envy anyone who can do any kind of dance at all....I envy anyone who can do any kind of dance at all. I would love to be able to do some ballroom dancing, but I just fall off my shoes too often to even try. Good luck finding a better spot to dance!cathy joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829421153829081513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-23718278881635807832012-01-24T09:37:04.165+11:002012-01-24T09:37:04.165+11:00NQ- no, despite the fact that he was most beautifu...NQ- no, despite the fact that he was most beautiful he was also very young and not really "blokey" enough for me. . . <br />Dr Aunty! Good to hear from you! Yeah, some of the moves they show you no one dances socially! Have recently found a place where a lot of people do cuban salsa, that's cool. Oh, and I did a bacchata with a guy: now that's just snuggling up to someone! It was fun! <br />Patti: I know. The music is always too loud! I go to these bars on the weekend and have to have a couple of drinks so I can cope. . and I totally relate to the not staying away past 10pm. Salsa's good coz if I'm moving then I will stay awake past 10pm.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166527552362784957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-34467924561306127852012-01-16T14:47:21.365+11:002012-01-16T14:47:21.365+11:00I realized I was getting old when the music was TO...I realized I was getting old when the music was TOO LOUD. <br />And I could barely stay awake past 10pm<br />And I get a back ache from changing the sheets on the bed.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />Patti<br />I Heart Red ShoesPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882468744335981117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-44945387832833487532012-01-16T10:03:32.913+11:002012-01-16T10:03:32.913+11:00i did salsa for a good while, and while you can do...i did salsa for a good while, and while you can do quite a lot of it without feeling too intimate (its not tango afterall) it does get a bit more touchy as you go along. As a irish person its part of my culture to not be comfortable with touching at all. Anyway one day when we had to do this move where you were back to back (or bum to bum) with your partner (and we rotated partners throughout the class) and kind of grind down to the floor and back up. Most of us just tried to do this move without any body contact (my large bum was not an asset here) and then one of the other girls (not irish) in the class burst out with 'agh I don't like the touching' and we all cracked up because we were all thinking it. <br /><br />I think the instructors generally show off these kinds of 'sexy' moves but as a class participant you actually spend most of your time trying not to fall over!Mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110865608550754101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606769683630846766.post-61900079776538327102012-01-14T12:41:13.621+11:002012-01-14T12:41:13.621+11:00Your'e sure you don't want to re-think tha...Your'e sure you don't want to re-think that class and straddle the guy? ;)Noisy Quiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127095448807063093noreply@blogger.com
