On dancing

A lot of people like to dance, and many are quite talented at it. I was in neither of those two groups, until very recently.

Dancing is the thing I'm the most self conscious about- I don't know why. I consider myself to be a pretty self confident person in general, just not about my dancing abilities. With music being such a huge part of my life, you would think I was at least somewhat decent, but unfortunately, you would be wrong. And thanks to the major skills of Mike Chang from Glee, being asian isn't an acceptable excuse for me anymore.

This past weekend, I went to UC Santa Cruz to visit my high school friend Anita. I had an awesome time: ate at some great places in downtown and mission (the English Burger at 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall was ridiculously good), roamed around their beautiful campus (including the Squiggle and the Arboretum), and saw Water for Elephants (which was a fantastic movie!).

Last night, Anita and I, along with tons of her friends, went to El Centro's Quince- a huge dance party, not too far from downtown SC. To be perfectly honest, when I first heard it was a dance party, I was a little hesitant because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of anyone. However, I'd like to think that I'm up for almost anything, so I was happy to go.

Best. Dance. Party. Ever. It was so much fun, and I danced probably more than ever before, and didn't really care how it looked haha. Everyone was so warm and inviting; I couldn't help but enjoy myself (and a little liquid courage never hurts lol). I was a little intimidated because there were so many great dancers there, but it was an amazing night nonetheless, and I'm so glad I was able to have that experience. Thanks Anita!

I once heard that the best dancers are the ones having the most fun. I guess I danced pretty well last night.
