WFH in the house! @foodandwine #afwwest #fwwesties @wholefoods

The fwWesties come out to play and practice while focusing on the theme of "Rinse and Repeat." We emphasize and revisit things we've already learned, aiming to refine patterns, fundamentals and core skills - instead of trying to fill our brains with more new stuff. Towards the end of the night, we shift our attention to practicing steals, getting both leaders and followers a little more familiar with easy ways to jump in! Last Westie out somewhere past 10, playing with instrumental music, Zouk music, and getting creative-and-flowy with West Coast! Thanks Rilee for the added dance pics!

Each Westie received personalized 'Friendly Feedback' and support from the entire #CritiqueCorner during Westie PLAYground 06! We covered a myriad of topics for each individual; from walking to stretch to tucks to confidence to drills - and more! Every week keeps getting better and it's always exciting seeing the progress each Westie makes as they attend Westie PLAYgrounds and as they, most importantly, continue to practice and immerse themselves in the art of West Coast Swing! Practice and critique went until at least 10:30 pm, with the last dancing Westie out at midnight!

Melissa teaching during the final "Winter Coast Swing" Westie Night of 2018. An impromptu #StealZone popped up during the social dance! Grateful for all the Westies and dancers that come out to support our small and mighty group of West Coast Swing dancers as we bring in the final days of the year! - #latergram #westcoastswing #wcs #swing #dance #dancing #learning #practice #fortwaynewesties #fwwesties #fortwayne #indiana #learntodance #westieplayground #wpg #westies #learntodance #anchorroom #community#connection #friendship #winter #christmas - [[ We do not own the rights to the music.

Westie PLAYground (WPG) #10! This evening I got to spend some time with Liuda for the second week in a row. She's one of the first dancers I met when I started learning to ballroom dance. And one of my first practice partners, staying after class to work on our dancing together. It was a great throwback to my dance beginnings! - Westie PLAYgrounds take place on select Fridays each month, focusing on learning and practicing West Coast Swing in a collaborative and friendly environment where you can ask questions, get input on your dancing, and help your peers grow.

Emily Wenger visits from GoDance Studio (Goshen, IN) to teach the first Westie Night of 2019 as we welcome the beginning of the THIRD year of Fort Wayne Westies! - #latergram #westcoastswing #wcs #swing #dance #dancing #learning #practice #fortwaynewesties #fwwesties #fortwayne #indiana #learntodance #westieplayground #wpg #westies #learntodance #anchorroom #community#connection #friendship #instructor #godance #goshen

I recently worked up the courage to do some things that have been sitting on the shelf for a long time due to fear. Jamie used this phrase called a “Vulnerable 10,” quantifying an action from 1-10 in terms of vulnerability/fear intensity. . It’s since made any kind of fear/action more tangible -- and easier to step through. . I had two things I wanted to accomplish last week that were a Vulnerable 8 and 9. . The first: wearing leggings and a new style of cardigan I recently got. The second: wearing high heeled boots (at Pride). (And a third: posting this) . The leggings or heels aren’t new to me -- within the comfort of home. In public? That’s another story. . Over the years, the nudges have been consistently increasing to wear them outside of that realm of comfort. . To work up the courage to do these Vulnerable 8/9s last week, I made an agreement with myself: . // I don’t have to wear those leggings in “public” (YET) if I don’t want, but there is one place I do: // At one of the WCS events I run. . For these 2 particular reasons: . 1) The Fort Wayne Westies is filled with incredibly supportive and accepting people. <3 . It’s one of the safest semi-public places I could think of to “dip my toes in the water” of self-expression. . 2) I can’t begin to encourage others to be themselves, express authentically, pursue an ambitious/”weird”/personal goal, try something new, put themselves out there -- if I’m not willing to do it in front of them first. . I kept my goal and purpose to myself and “just did it” so that I wouldn’t lessen the growth I could extract from the experience. . Very few people commented on any of it, despite what my fear wanted me to expect. . Those Vulnerable 8s and 9s in those communities? Are now Vulnerable 1s or 2s. . Wearing them outside of inherently supportive communities (e.g., at the store, restaurants) are still high Vulnerability #s, but even those fears are less intense now. . These experiences help to normalize the authentic parts of ourselves we’re too afraid to let be seen. . Thank you to those who have supported and encouraged me on this ‘weird’ journey. ;)
