Gotta love those loop holes!!

I need to be honest: I was extremely concerned when I signed the teaching contract for my job in Honduras. It wasn't because of all of the political demonstrations going on in the country (which I found out the U.S. media grossly exaggerates!) or because of the fact that I did not feel qualified to be a teacher, but rather, the source of my apprehension was the sub clause written in my teaching contract that stated IST teachers must abstain from dancing. This caused much concern and created many jokes among my family (mostly including scenarios of me getting kicked out of the country for breaking this part of the contract). However, after being down here for a little over 2 weeks, I have found a loop hole to the rule!! After much debate and clarification, I discovered that dancing is allowed as long as it is done in the privacy of my own home, or in a structured setting. My solution: DANCE CLASSES!!!! I joined a dance studio called Chepe's and I go a couple of times a week to learn Latin American style dancing, as well as get my workout in because these dance classes are tough! One of the instructors is the Honduran equivalent to Billy Blanks and won't let you stop moving at all throughout the hour-long dance session. It has been SO much fun and interesting at the same time because I'm a white girl and don't move my hips well, but I'm learning!
