Writer's Block: Dancing queen

Hmm. Used to folk-dance. I'd have to go for mastering -- really mastering -- the waltz. Or maybe the tango, which I don't know at all. I can handle the polka, thanks.

As for gymnastics, well, that always scared the heck out of me. I'd settle for being able to do simple vaults well enough to know why pocketnaomi loved it, rather than being scared out of my wits by it.

I also want to waltz well some day.

Vaults give you a temporary feeling of flying. That said, landings are tricky, and need a good deal of physical fitness to master. If you are shaky in balance or in core strength, you are justified in your inner dismay at doing them.

I want to cartwheel, including one-handed and no-handed. It seems a perfect way to express joy. I ought to master that.

Yes, the flying thing is why Naomi loves vaulting. But being shaky in balance, strength, and fitness, I guess I'd better not.

I used to be able to do two-handed cartwheels. Haven't tried it in... don't know. 45 years or so?
