Just Go Dance

Give it a chance, you learn as you go.

Just Go Dance

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."-William W. Purkey

I love going out dancing, but not all people enjoy it as much as I do. Going out dancing can be intimidating for a lot of people. Thoughts like I don't know how or I'm not good enough, are many people's excuses, but that needs to stop. You will never learn if you never try. There are so many people that have taken the chance to learn how to dance, and they are more than happy to teach new people.

Men:

Most women love to dance. They love to be swept off their feet and led around the dance floor. Those girls that stand on the side of the dance floor, are not just there to watch other people dance. They are waiting for some guy to come and spin them around the floor. Dancing doesn't have to lead into relationships, but it can. So even if you don't love dancing, remember that she might. Men, remember that you are the leader, that means women expect you to ask them to dance, don't but don't be intimidated when she drags you onto the floor. Don't refuse, give everyone at lease a chance.

Ladies:

If he asks you to dance, just do it. Try to use the "One-Dance Policy." This means dance with every guy that asks, at least once. Be polite, don't destroy his confidence. Find your own confidence as well and throw the men off guard, ask him to dance every once in awhile.

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” Benjamin Mee, We Bought a Zoo

To sum it up, life is short so do something spontaneous and out of your comfort zone. Change it up every once in a while. Even if you aren't sure of yourself, forget about what others think. Learn to trust your partner and to be open-minded to try new things. So go out there and try it. Just dance!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
