A week of Rumba
Monday evening we had our second “social ease” class and it was the Rumba. I’ve probably mentioned it on here that I love the Rumba. This is my dance (despite being called the ladies dance…it’s because the lady is shown off). We learned 2 new steps and we actually danced with other people. And I got sweet revenge…sort of! Last week you all know that I had a hell of a time doing the double swing. Well this week my wife had problems with the moves that we learned. She did pick up on them quicker than the double swing, but it was nice to know I wasn’t the only one struggling. We did stay after wards and dance some more getting our steps down. The owner even came up and complimented us on our dancing (or maybe it was us staying late to practice!).
Yesterday in our private we also did the Rumba. Yeah! And learned yet another new step. At this point we have about 5 or 6 moves in the Rumba and honestly with a little practice I would feel totally comfortable taking those moves out onto the dance floor. And we are going to learn at least another 6 of them. So much fun.
Oh and tomorrow’s group lesson…yeah it’s the Rumba. I am in heaven! Okay…I’ll quit talking about dancing!
Next week we are off to Orlando for a quick vacation. We are going to go to Discovery Cove and swim with the Dolphins and then go to Sea World. Then we are going to have one day where we are going to sit by the pool and get sun burnt. Well at least I will. I’m white. Pasty white. That’s what guys who sit in front of the computers get. My wife has encouraged me to go tanning, but it’s a bit to late and I have problems with tanning. I don’t know. I guess I see guys that go and tan like some meterosexual tweener. Not the image I want to portray. I’m going for more of the manly man look. So yeah…I’m going to get burnt. I’ll be bringing the camera so there will be lots of pictures when we get back. Perhaps some videos as well (the wife got a video camera!).
Also the writing bug is biting at me, so I might be posting up some of my writing on here. So that’s your warning!
