In December I'm going to turn 30. Two years ago, in preparation for the impending doom, I made a list of things I wanted to do before I officially got old and started not trusting myself.
With 6 months to go, I'm coming along nicely with my 30x30 list. I still have 5 more slots, if you have any suggestions...
1. Golf Lessons

Sahara Dance
Expand your dance repertoire with Latin-belly fusion! Learn fun dance combinations that fuse salsa, bachata, and other Latin styles with the ancient art of raqs sharqi. Open to all levels! Choreography is structured to be accessible to beginner students, offering modifications to challenge advanced dancers.

I have been a Sahara Dance student for four years now and my friend is teaching that Latin Fusion class. The studio is great, but my favorite teacher left last year and started her own studio, Saffron Dance in Clarendon. If Clarendon is convenient for you, you might also want to consider her studio. Also, Faten Salama, a well known Egyptian instructor, teaches there.
This is a great list! I only have 1.5 years before 30 so I had better start moving on some things.
I should start making my list. You know, get a head start. ;)
What an awesome idea! I turn 28 in August, so making my own 30x30 would be timely ... I don't know if you're a chef, but you could learn to cook something challenging ... ? Thanks for the inspiration : )
