i am wonky
 I have serious balance issues (just ask my therapist, ARF ARF). The older I get, the more it would appear that my inner spirit level is all wonked- up to fuck. On pretty much an hourly basis I will stumble, usually when getting up from a seated position, or walking up stairs, and usually to the side. I don't fall over or hurt myself; it's just a bit embarrassing. Most of the time.
 On the dancefloor, it's becoming an issue. I'm pretty much at one with the idea that I may never reach the dizzy heights of International Lindy Stardom; I'm not young and I'm not particularly nimble and grace has never been one of my virtues. But I'd like to be a serviceable follow one day. At the moment, I'm afraid that I'm actually verging on dangerous. Yesterday evening at the end of an extremely encouraging dance with a lovely, lovely lead, I tripped over his feet or my own, and we nearly hit the deck. It was a horrid end to what felt otherwise like my smoothest, least stumbly, least beginner- ish dance ever.
 Is there a way for me to get less stumbly? Will I just balance out as I dance more? What should I be doing?
