Prior to that I only took private lessons once a week.&nbsp; </p> <p>I've only been taking lessons for one year.&nbsp; May 15th will be my 1 year anniversary. Prior to that I did not have any dance training and had never performed in front of people.&nbsp; I have always been a fan ballroom dancing and secretly dreamed of being a dancer.&nbsp; Now I get to live my dream.&nbsp; :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-my-first-ballroom-competition/page/2#post-1248842 Sun, 11 May 2014 21:27:31 +0000 claracluck 1248842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sorry i'm late to your wiw but i saw you on the wall and you look gorgeous in that colour really dreamy and floaty for your competion well done on your placings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-my-first-ballroom-competition#post-1248338 Sun, 11 May 2014 03:09:42 +0000 Vix 1248338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Poirot --</p> <p>Wow, gorgeous AND talented; congrats on placing so well!</p> <p>I would love to hear a little more about your training (time involved/week, how long you've been doing it, etc). </p> <p>Ballroom looks so fun and I know it's a great mental and physical workout.&nbsp;I keep thinking I should take classes before my knees get any worse but keep chickening out. </p> <p>You're certainly an inspiration; thanks for posting!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-my-first-ballroom-competition#post-1247869 Sat, 10 May 2014 16:48:08 +0000 Dana 1247869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

So swirly smooth gowns are a no-go for rhythm and latin dances. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-my-first-ballroom-competition#post-1247812 Sat, 10 May 2014 15:48:19 +0000 Anonymous 1247812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still my favorite of the two you posted. &nbsp;It is the swirl component that is near and dear to my heart. &nbsp;UNLESS, the second type of dance did not require swirl. &nbsp;Is that a consideration? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-my-first-ballroom-competition#post-1247725 Sat, 10 May 2014 14:08:59 +0000 jackiec 1247725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!
