I MIGHT be getting the hang of this

Swing dance is a great confidence-booster. The guys are so nice and keep saying, "No, you didn't make a mistake!" and "There is no wrong in swing dance!" and "You're doing great!" and "You don't have to apologize!" (I apologize a LOT.) Almost makes me feel like I'm not doing too badly!

My feet are killing me, but it was so worth it.

Aww, YAY! It's truly amazing how a welcoming and pleasant environment can make everything so much better!

This sounds like so much fun! :-) I'm glad all the other guys are so encouraging and friendly! :-D

Very cool!

D'awww. Begs the question of why we can't just have nice, friendly people everywhere, don't it? ;)

I'm really glad you're enjoying so thoroughly. ♥

And I had to laugh at "I apologize a LOT." I'm a lot in that line myself, and of course it's always dangerous to put two of us types together. Ever get caught in an apology loop?

Oh my gosh, YES. It's crazy. Last night I started to think, "If I don't stop it I'll get a reputation around here as the girl who constantly apologizes, and maybe I'll have to apologize for that!" Yeesh!

I think it's probably a control-freak thing, you know? Like, if I admit to everything I do wrong before anyone else can call me on it, then I can keep some kind of control over how they see me.

Which is sick and I should probably apologize for it.

:-D

I adore swing dancing, but I haven't been since college. You're making me envious.

Boy, that was... way more insightful than I was necessarily prepared to hear. :/ I think you're dead-on!
