Dancing soon! I think this is my first solo performance in front of peeps who don't know me :o even if they are kids :o

Wish my some form of encouragement :o

ps I look like a tart

ETA: It went great :D Lots of fun :) There was a little girl there who really enjoyed it and wants to take lessons. of course, I forgot Donna's contact info like a twit... But I gave her her name. I don't know if she teaches kids anyway :/ Well, I had fun, and everyone seemed to think it went well, including Michelle, so all is good ^-^ Thanks for the encouragements everyone :D

now I just feel kind of blah. Disappointed some how. some people went out to a bar afterwards. I didn't obviously, for a number of reasons. But I'm just not good at talking to people. I don't know. I am having a night of feeling meh about my abilities to socialize, and I couldn't even tell you why. I had a good time, but now I just feel meh.

Pant to that :p I have had a long couple of days and I probably just need some rest.
