For fun and fitness, my husband and I are taking a ballroom dancing class. So that now, instead of just looking like complete geeks on the dance floor, we will kind of know some steps while we look like complete geeks on the dance floor.
Friday night was our first class and we learned the first three parts to the jitterbug. As in all things movement-related, I try to overdo. I take huge steps, fling my arms about wildly, and lean back way too far. So I’m trying to work on that. My husband is trying to work on being the one who leads. He’s not used to that, since he usually lets me boss him around a lot.
Our friend Charlie told us that he and his wife took a ballroom dancing class and it was really romantic. But our friend Kathy and her husband took a ballroom dancing class last year and look what romantic led to in that case (see blog from February 12). That wouldn’t be such a good idea for us. But we are having a lot of fun and meeting some nice people, so even if we never learn how to dance like Fred and Ginger, we’re still having a good time.
