Connecting with Friends

Busy weekend connecting with friends on many levels...

Friday night, I went dancing at my old studio. It was great to see old friends and dance (a lot!). I've been working very hard w/ my new teacher on my connection so it was awesome to hear from guys I used to dance w/ regularly that my connection had really improved. I feel I'm improving, but sometimes I doubt myself: Do I just think I understand what I'm supposed to be doing? Am I getting it in my lesson but not able to connect properly when not in a lesson? I believe I am on the right path and am where I am supposed to be.

Saturday, I saw "Night at the Museum" w/ my friend Annie. And Sunday, I attended the Van Cliburn Semifinals w/ my friend Lisa - whom I hadn't seen in a couple of years. We used to work together at FamilyNet. I was glad to spend time w/ someone who is not a dancer and talk about non-dance stuff, and just catch up on each other's lives. It was hard to tell who was the better pianist but we enjoyed one young woman from South Korea the most. She made the finals. I have no idea how the judges choose...for me, I just liked her choice of music and she seemed to connect more w/ the string quartet that accompanied her. She also turned the music pages for herself instead of having someone turn the pages for her...I wonder how much a page turner earns...

At the end of the weekend I felt refreshed...until I had to get up Monday morning and come back to work...now I'm ready for the weekend again...
