A woman came up to me at the dance last night and told me that she missed my presence while I was away, and that she enjoyed watching me dance and what I did to the dance. I was dumbstruck. Within a minute I was high on her words, but I had this moment of flat out incomprehension. I think I looked like a fish gasping for air.

What she said lifted me up and did something beautiful to my dance. I had confidence that I could move however, and I turned out to be right. I was aware that people were watching because they liked what they saw. I felt connected to everything in the room and ease in my motion.

I remember doing things that I'm pretty sure can't be done. I'm not sure how much is "I'm wrong about what's possible", and "when I'm high I don't remember things very accurately" (and how much is a pomo "if that's what you remember, that's what happened for you").

It was three hours of euphoria. Every now and then I think that I could give up coding for dance. I think I'd go nuts within a month, but I'd have a wonderful month til then.

Late in the night I shared a lovely dance with her; lightness, ease, flow, and joy. I even had the guts to approach Neige for a dance (when I grow up I want to dance like Neige). Sometime around the middle someone asked me if I would teach her CI. It's surprising that my ego fits through doors just now...

Thanks for your input. I feel a bit silly, because I do know how to use Google myself, although I wouldn't recognize names of his students. Sounds like a very different teaching style than what I got Wednesday night, which was more like "You might want your hip to go places." I think I will take the class. I might be in grad school, but I'm way too excited about dancing.
