Ballroom Dancing

After a day of violent storms yesterday that cut a deadly and destructive swath through the state, we welcomed the opportunity to de-stress for a couple of hours at ballroom dancing last night.

We didn't have as big an attendance this week as we did last week for country-western night, but those of us who were there enjoyed ourselves. The evening consisted mainly of waltzes and foxtrots, with a few Latin dances mixed in. Our instructor complimented Hubbie and me, saying we look "pretty professional out there." We know she was just being nice, but Mother keeps saying we look good together, too, and another older couple commented that "you dance like a couple of 20-year-olds." We're not convinced, but we appreciate the compliments, anyway. We know we're getting more comfortable and at ease with some of the dances.

We missed the cha-cha lesson, so our instructor took time last night to show us the steps, which will take quite a bit of practice at home. The evening ended, as usual, with a couple of lessons in line dancing, including the "Heavenly Waltz," which Hubbie particularly enjoys.
