La danza hawaiiana

While living in Guadalajara for a year sounded like a total blast, I had some reservations. I knew I was going to miss my family, my friends, the beach, and my dancing. When I came down for the summer I just held my own private dance classes with myself and my ipod in my room. However a year dancing alone in my room did not sound like it would be too much fun. And while my friends are great I feel like I need something I can do on my own to connect me to the city other than being dependent on them to take me out or around town. To fix this problem before I got too depressed with no dancing and no way of self entertainment (other than going to the mall and spending money I don't have) I decided to look for a dance group to join. The search was a little depressing at first, didn't find any websites and just found a few random email addresses saying if you are interested in dance classes to write. They didn't look too promising but i figured why the hell not, and emailed them. I was pleasantly surprised when I received a response almost immediately. The woman seemed very nice and gave me her number so i could call and get info on what class i should come to and where to go. I was still a little hesitant until I saw the follow up email she sent which included attachments for a huge Tahitian festival they are having here in Guadalajara November 2-4th.

So I called the number and talked to the very nice lady and she told me I could come to class tomorrow to check it out and see if I would be interested in dancing with them. The class is tomorrow at 6 30 and I am hoping for the best. Even the idea of having a group to dance with here is enough to put a permanent smile on my face. I am pretty sure that I will fall asleep and the smile will still be there. I guess what they say is true... absence makes the heart grow fonder, and seeing as I haven't danced in a month I really am craving a good dance class. I am so excited to go check it out tomorrow... if this works out and I like the dance group I will be pretty much set to stay here. Now I just need to import the beach...
