Maurette's Adventures

This month, for summer break, the dance school organized an Intense African Month. So now three times a month I am dancing and jumping and most of all sweating but loving every minute of it ... until yesterday. My dance teacher decided we were going to support this celebrity teacher who was here for the next 4 weeks. He has different classes every day and so we will have to dance every day. Well you know I like a challenge so I was there bright and early the next day for an hour of contemporary dance and then zumba. I got to the place and looked around at all the young dancers jumping and bending themselves in self-expressive contortions. I turned to my friend and said No way am I going to make a fool of myself. I will wait for zumba. Turning away, one of the ladies come running after us to tell us that the teacher is waiting for us to join before he begins. Darn! So there I was twisting and turning and trying to remember 4 counts of eight choregraphy. Half hour in the class and I am ...

Last night I went to a bodybuilding contest. Boring! Up until now I had honestly thought that gold was the most boring sport.

I was going to keep telling you about this sleep inducing contest but I just think I touched on one of my founding pilars. This is what I truly believe and how I act sometimes. Different is not being loud and obnoxious. Different is not dressing different or having a different hair style. Different is not having a differfent life style. Not to me anyway. Different is being yourself. Always being yourself will make you stand out from the crowd. Let your personality shine and you will always be remembered. Those who decide that being different is disrupting the natural order is just looking for attention.
