Let's Do the Electric Slide !!

July is the month of more fitness madness for me :)

I am into line dancing. Yes, enjoying the light workout from my weekly class ... after I got through to myself that it is okay to be feel clumsy, like I am having 2 left feet. 

Things should be less chaotic for me at the dance floor soon. Hopefully. Thanks to the wonderful people who had uploaded their dance videos to YouTube so that I (& fellow newbies) can view again and again and practise, practise and practise our moves. 


ELECTRIC SLIDE 
This is my fav cos it is the simplest to remember. I managed to catch on the moves quite quickly on Lesson 1. Yoohoo!!
