Not dancing, not getting fit - but hoping to change that

I enjoyed the two Lindy Hop improver classes I attended last year - it was good to learn something, and to have the challenge of new steps and new combinations, amongst a bunch of friendly people.  The class that Keith had hoped to run in the new year didn't happen (not enough people/leads signing up).  A new improvers class has just started and I would have been signing up for it ... however, I realised I would miss at least three out of the six classes, so have decided to give this one a miss.  But - the miss is the dancing.

I also signed up for a new exercise class at work, Fitsteps.  It's apparently based around ballroom and Latin American dance steps so sounded just up my street.  But for one reason or another I haven't yet made it to a class.  The first one was cancelled (snow at the end of January), then I forgot my kit (doh!), the following week I had a day off so wasn't in work to go to the class after work, the next week I had to leave early (family illness) and last week I was at the inaugural Pankhurst Lecture addressed by Shami Chakrabarti (an interesting and thought-provoking event).  So I've missed half the series.  I can in theory go to the last four classes - but I'd also planned to start attending the local photography club, which has it's third meeting on the final week of the Fitsteps class (an extra week was added because of the snow).  Shall I go?  Is it worthwhile, given I've missed so many classes?  Will the class be run again?

Watch this space ...

And hopefully see something more positive soon!
