I don’t watch the show, but I do so wish I had the gift of dance – it’s so amazing to me. I was always the kid in the last row at my dance recitals, because I never could remember my steps! It is truly a joy to watch someone who can really DANCE get down and get to business.

As for doing things differently – I don’t know if or how, because it seems that I have been gradually learning and growing in wisdom and I’m fairly content with my progress – but I wish I would have questioned more and stood up for myself in certain job situations. Should I have gone to seminary? Still wonder that, sometimes. Still, my inner compass needle was spinning to where I am today, and I have so much of everything I thought I wanted. And I find myself still wanting it, so that’s a good thing.

I would think twice before some of the things I did.

I wished I had danced too – but I figure skated and that was great. Only last year did I start going to dance class – an adult hip-hop class – and it was GREAT. I know it’s not the same as dancing all your life, and especially training through your growing years, but it’s still a lot of fun to move the old body to music and giggle with other would-be dancers.

So You Think You Can Dance is my favorite TV show, and I am not ashamed!!! My poor husband is so bored, but I watch it faithfully.

I have the very same reaction. I can feel myself moving on the couch, wishing my muscles would do the things those dancers can do. I am sometimes almost in tears of regret…why didn’t I pursue dance when I was young and firm? How would my life be different if I had devoted myself to an art form? Would I be living in NYC, with a lithe body but no money, eating beans and rice but oh so happy? Would I have ever met my husband? Would I have had a child? I cant imagine my life without my son, but…

I mean, my brain imagines myself a whole new identity…just watching others dance while I…don’t. Ok, I feel sad now.
