Dancing

I haven't juggled in a long time. I haven't done any skill-based physical activities (circus, martial arts, dance) in a long time. I've been running occasionally  to train for a marathon someday, but even that has been quite spare recently. But I went out dancing with some friends last night, and I thought about this: Lots of people told me that I was a great dancer, but I don't think that really has anything to do with my skills. It only has to do with confidence. And confidence is just a code word for not caring what other people think. If I am not self-conscious at all, then I will be able to enjoy myself without concern for other people's opinions. I think that many people lack that: they go to a public place, and whatever they do they are constantly concerned with how they are being perceived by others. In a dance club, or in a park, or in any number of places: people are constantly concerned with how others perceive them. So here I share my secret of being a great dancer in a bar or  in a club: Confidence (apathy towards the opinions of others).
