learn to dance properly

Lesson 5 is tomorrow night. I’m doing well. Learning swing, salsa and waltz. As my 7-year old nephew said when he saw us dancing: “You look real.” .

Well, last night was my first dance lesson. They make it look so easy! HA. We were all learning the swing, salsa and waltz—though after 1 lesson, I don’t remember anything. I can’t tell you how hard it is to try to watch the instructor, move your feet and body and arms…while facing a strange man. I get 2 lessons a week for 6 weeks and am promised I will dance with “ease on the dance floor.” Tonight is lesson 2. We’ll be doing the swing-hustle, salsa and rumba.
My feet are a little sore but that just makes me feel like a dancer! Speaking of that… I really want a pair of silver dancing shoes! Well, maybe not. But one day I’ll invest the $75 in a pair of special dancing shoes, the T-strap type with the ankle strap. I’ll let you know in 6 weeks.

I’m really tired of doing the “bear hug shuffle” or pretending to know how to dance but not knowing any real steps. Watching other people move in unison and twirl properly makes me envious. I noticed a new dance studio about 8 miles from my place but I can’t remember the name of it. “something dance studio” I think.
I’m going to research this because there’s a family wedding coming up in 2 months… what if there’s dancing and I CAN DANCE!
Remind me to look for the name and number!
