First I looked at my good friend Doug Cummings' blog where he spoke about appreciating art by creating your own understanding.
Doug,
I agree with you in that dancing is very difficult for me. It's hard to not feel awkward when moving your body to a rhythm or beat. I also used to find watching dancing awkward until I watched this film.
Dancing, like most forms of art, is pretty subjective, so I think you and I learned a great deal by learning to make our own understanding of a piece before we judge it. Appreciation of art stems directly from understanding the art.
Next I went to Benjy Wax's blog where he wrote about the kids he's met in gym.
Benjy,
This is a really great thing to talk about especially with our class going off to college next year. I feel like gym class can be likened to the first day of college where you are forced to meet and work with people you normally would not. By realizing this, I feel like you're putting yourself in a great position to make friends early next school year.
