I have been attending the same cardio dance class for the last year. I refer to it as my stripper dancing class-due to the variety of hip grinding, booty shaking moves that are involved. And during the class I feel HOT! I am a sexy woman who is shaking her stuff for all to see! (or at least the poor souls, who happen to look in… ) I have even thought that I should adopt some type of club lifestyle, where I could practice all my sexy dances I have learned. Until today…. Until the mirror…. Because usually, I am at the back of the class, and though I have tried to glimpse a view of my goddess self-I am hampered by the lovely woman in front of me. But TODAY, I was lucky, I got in early enough to get a prime spot RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR. In fact so lucky that I was the only one I could see in the mirror.

At the beginning of the class, watching myself in the mirror was a VERY LONG 15 minutes. The fifteen minutes where I realized that I am much more likely to be featured in a Saturday Night Live Skit than any current music video. I have no rhythm and my scrawny ankles look ridiculous protruding from my Capri black leggings! But it’s okay, because I still have a powerful tool, SELF DELUSION. When I look at the best dancers in the class, this is who I become-moving fluidly, seductively through the moves of the class.
