I finally made it to my ballroom dance class. I had a ball. Last month I signed up to take lessons when my friend Donna sent me a Groupon link for discounted classes. I jumped right on it and I’m sooo glad I did. I attended the group class for the Rumba and the Cha Cha tonight. As usual it was a room full of women with the exception of the 8-10 men who came with their wife/girlfriend. In order for us to learn the dances with a partner the instructor rotated the ladies to so we could practice the steps but with a different partner each time. Although it felt a little strange at first dancing with some strange man after awhile I let myself go and totally enjoyed the feeling of “ballroom dancing” forgetting about who I was dancing with. For the most part that was easy to do, except for the few times my foot got stepped on…LOL. But it was all good, because I clipped a few toes myself. At one point when it came time for me to dance the Cha Cha with the instructor…I nailed it…10…BAM!!!!! He even looked at me, bowed and said I did a great job. I was all smiles from that point on. I did put my thing down if I must say so myself
So now I’m hooked. I have 9 more lessons on my groupon and then I think I’m going to continue on and take some one on one classes. I joke around about being on Dancing With The Stars, but in all seriousness I REALLY want to enter into some amateur ballroom dance competitions. And so that’s my next big thing. I’m gonna perfect the Cha Cha, the Rumba, the Samba, the Quick Step and the Waltz. Then I want to get all decked out in one of those itty bitty little dresses (by then I’ll be down to my goal weight, and will be able to carry the dress off if you know what I mean…BAM get my hair and make-up did, and razzle dazzle my friends and family on the dance floor. I can picture me doing my thing. But first things first, I must take more classes and get good so I can show off my moves and take home the trophy.
