All of the good things that I liked about dance class got me past the things I didn’t like. If I can’t take more than one class a week, I may have to resort to practicing with someone. (Big sigh.) That does not give me a warm and fuzzy. I remember years back, I could have practiced with Leigh and Connie, and a couple of others, but I took a class on the day that they got together to practice, Thursdays. When Leigh and I would meet on Sundays a few years ago, it did benefit me. It doesn’t help that I have no one that I can practice with, however I would be uncomfortable with always making mistakes around that person.
| What I don’t like about practicing alone | How the class got me around it |
| Quickly lose interest with repetition of practice. | Making myself stay until the end of class got me through the loss in interest. |
| Taking the time out of my day to practice | Once I was scheduled for classes, that time period was then committed to that. In other words, that became a routine. |
| Other things that I think of that I want or need to do will usually be done instead of practice | Anything that interrupted my thoughts could not be taken care of while at class, so it would get postponed or put aside. |
| Often forgot parts, usually bringing on frustration from trying to remember. | Have someone else there to refresh my memory, or to get clarification from. |
| Dissatisfaction with inability to perform a move or with dealing with weight in relation to performing. | I tended to keep better control during dissatisfied moments, not wanting to lose it around everyone. |
