Dancing was fun :-)!

Current Mood:

Steve and I had our first ballroom dancing lesson last night: 30 minutes of foxtrot and 30 minutes of American tango :-). We had a lot of fun :-). An hour may not sound like much, but believe me, I had trouble remembering what we learned at foxtrot after about 20 minutes of doing the tango :-).

What's awesome about the classes is that it's sponsored by USADance, which means you're taught by a professional instructor and you only have to pay $5 a person each session. Our teacher this month is Joseph Rukendorfer, who has received fellowship status for International Ballroom and licentiate status for International Latin. There is NO way Steve and I could afford to pay for a teacher like that on our own :-).

What's also great about attending classes that only cost $5 is that there is a simple atmosphere in the room: it was very casual and down-to-earth :-). And everyone was really nice, too--a few of the more experienced lady dancers (you could tell from their shoes and from how fit their calves were :-)) would come up to me and give me tips like, "Try not to lift your feet when you move backwards--slide your feet instead so it looks like you're gliding."

I really think I'm going to like these classes :-).
