So I need to brag about my husband's gift to me this past Christmas...Dance lessons! It's something I have wanted to do as a couple for quite some time. He gave me a dance package which includes private lessons, group lessons and parties! He even asked if there will be dancing at my high school reunion this summer.
Unfortunately, anything we learn in class will not be helpful for dancing at the reunion if songs from the 80's are playing ;) (To give you some idea, one of our yearbooks was titled, "Another Brick in the Wall.")
We attended our first private lesson and it was so much fun! So far, our instructor has taken us through the fox trot and rumba. It involved a lot of going back-and-forth across the (empty) dance floor. There was a feeling kind of like being on a first date, with your spouse (and a dance instructor!). I was told to not worry about my feet being stepped upon and to look over his shoulder. He was told to look beyond me, possibly because of the goofy faces we were making....
For me, the most difficult part is not being the one driving this "shopping cart" as the instructor puts it. My background involves being in charge and lots of leading. Often, I am not only "driving the shopping cart," but choosing U-scan to check out~yep, a little bit of a perfectionist and control-freak....
So I am working on the whole "shopping cart thing." I'll let you know how it goes...or maybe I'll be a little too busy dancing with my husband to write ;)
