My Secret Is Exposed!!


Yes, my secret is out...I cannot dance.

That is what happened tonight. Shawn was desperately trying to show me how to simply shift my hips to throw him in a “Shomen Uchi Koshi Nage” and I just could not make my body perform this subtle shift. I could mange most of the technique but the final bit of finesse escaped me. And Shawn, who recently started dance lessons asked “You don't know how to dance, do you?” And it is true...So my secret is revealed.

Above is what I cannot do, and part of what Shawn recognized whey he asked me to shift my hips, and below is what I tried to do tonight.

Good Ol' Koshi Nage...

The dance thing has got to be genetic. I am hopeless, and my kids don't seem to be much better.

It may be irrational but I still think if I took some ballroom dancing lessons I might actually improve my rhythm.

Well, at least you didn't get injured. I stubbed my toe so bad that night that it, and the little toes around it, are still bruised! hahah. Koshi Nage is tough!

Didn't you hurt your toe real bad a few months ago?

Yes I maybe sprained it a while back and it still bothers me a little. My lanky toes are amazingly vulnerable to injury.
