I was never a talented dancer, but I loved it.
I quit ballet lessons when I was in the 3rd grade because it was hard. I struggled to learn the simple choreography in school musical productions. I never learned to swing dance or
czardas. When I did dance, I looked like
that little girl in the Charlie Brown Christmas special. Even in my wildest dreams, I couldn’t
dance to Beyonce like these women.
I made up for this lack of talent with enthusiasm. I didn’t clean my apartment; I
dance-cleaned. I didn’t move to the beat; I
shook my booty (when no one was watching).
