“Well, I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm, EWF.”

That’s what my step instructor said in class. It’s not what you most want to hear your step instructor say.

That’s so patronizing. I’d have been all, “Yeah, and I appreciate your condescending attitude. I think you missed your calling as a kindergarten teacher for special ed students.”

Then again whenever I’m afraid I’m going to suck at anything I always channel Monica in that “Friends” episode where she goes to that tap dancing class after meeting that woman who stole her identity.

Hee! I haven’t seen that particular Friends.

I was actually left back in dance as a child — enthusiasm may be the best I can do. I’m the person in the class autistically counting all the steps with a look of great concentration. This particular instructor (who I actually like a lot) earlier taught me special ankle exercises to do at home to stop me falling off the damn step so much… I bring my own pizazz to step class, is what I’m saying.
