Dancing again

Just in case there are still a few people that read this, I figured I'd do a quick update.

The biggest news is that I have started dance class again, with the Cleary school in North Hollywood.

I've only had one class so far, and there is a two week break for nationals, so I'll be back again on the 18th.

I was in a bit of pain after class, but I was able to get back to 80% by Friday night and back to about 90% on Sunday.

This morning there is almost no pain, only a bit of stiffness in my ankles. Hopefully I can reduce my recovery time after each class.

I've been really good with keeping up with my physical therapy exercises, so hopefully the added ankle strength will help out.

Also, I hope to continue to drop some pounds to take that extra strain off the joints, so that should help with the pain as well *fingers crossed*

So far I've learned one reel step and one slip jig step. It was actually a bit difficult to wrap my mind around the slip jig after doing just the reel for so long. It was a fun challenge though and there is a wicked fun jump in the step that will be awesome as soon as I can master it.

Other than that, nothing too terribly exciting to report. I am just anxiously awaiting Comic Con in San Diego at the end of the month.

It's July already?!
