No, pressure, right? My body is free to move as it pleases. I&#8217;ve danced in front of the mirror before, I didn&#8217;t think I looked too bad.<\/p>\n<p>I dance around my room as part of my cardio on the days I do strength training. I recorded myself yesterday, because you know, I&#8217;m just that narcissistic. Like most people, I am infinitely better in my head. The difference is that I never thought I was very good to begin with. <\/p>\n<p>I thought I at least lifted my arms and legs straight. I look like some sort of monkey. I don&#8217;t even look like I&#8217;m standing up straight. I&#8217;m not as bad as Elaine or anything, but it&#8217;s bad. In my head I&#8217;m all graceful and in reality, not so much. I deleted the video right after I watched it. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;m really not that bad, maybe it was the camera distracting me. Either way, you will never see me dancing in public. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211;edit&#8211; ok, so I took another video today, after I was warmed up and everything. It wasn&#8217;t as bad, much more like what I look like in my head. I still say I suck though *nods* &#8211;\/edit&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t dance.
