let me mirror

Recently I have started doing Dance with my congregation. I was getting a little frustrated because I was pretty much told I couldn’t learn the way that works best for me. They kept trying to show me or teach me the steps but they just well didn’t help much because Left and Right to my brain gets all missed up. I told them let me mirror you and do what I see I can learn. I was told no, because you don’t learn to dance that way it’s to hard. I tried explaining to them being dyslexic I often see things backwards or my brain sends the message back that way.
This morning it was just me and the instructor so to make a circle like thing we had to be facing each other. She goes Oh your good at mirroring I said yes it what I been telling you, it’s easier for me. I guess what needed to happen was just working with one of them one on one…. Sometimes that the best way is to show people listen I don’t learn like a normal person for lack of better words, my brain is messed up. I know they don’t tell me it is, but boy I sure feel like it because I am probably the only one learning like this. Today nice was a lot more fun because I actually learned! What wasn’t fun is getting a bruise on my arm, I ran right into the wall and light switch, yep ouch. Then I almost fall over a chair but at least I was able to balance right away on the other foot.
I know as far as writing and writing I have overcome my dyslexia but I just haven’t overcame it on other things. Some days I feel very stupid because I struggle with what other find easy but then I have no trouble getting what other feel is hard. I guess I will not need any weight loss pills now between works and dance. It’s a new talent to learn and a lot easier then I thought it would be.
