Wow, I hoped somebody would enjoy my dancing capsule in action but I did not count on such enthusiastic response - thank you!
Chewy, I am sure you will enjoy your rhumba class, so far this is my favorite dance!
Thea, how fun is it that you two met ballroom dancing: life changing activity for sure...:-)
merwoman, you meant to say that I coordinated his outfits with mine
Mirjana, you should start dancing if you want, it is a lot of fun!
Tanya, you are my ballroom dancing god-mother! Yes, it is addictive; we went from group lessons for the first year to one private lesson per week the second year and now we have 2. With all lessons, practices and social dances we dance 6 days a week. Yes to checking dress racks in the store and also the first thing I look at online too! I am not sure about competing: we are too old and not good enough I think...we just having fun.
JAileen, you should go out and dance: classes alone are not enough. You may be surprised how many opportunities exist for social ballroom dancing. My city is not big (less that 400k people) but we have 2(!) different ballroom venues every Friday plus a couple of dances every month on Saturdays. Putting to use what you learned in class is tremendous fun! - and an opportunity to wear pretty dresses too!
Aquamarine, you cannot be sure about having 2 left feet until you try. I always thought myself big and clumsy but it appeared I can dance. This is truly an activity where (a lot of) practice makes perfect.
Thank you all again for your kind comments. Yes, we have tons of fun and doing this together is the best thing ever. Dresses are really just an icing on the cake ( but very welcome icing).
