Thanks to Damon, for being such an awesome dude. His constant tweets about dancing motivated me to find a place here in Omaha to start lessons.
I’ve been going for the past couple months and I totally love it. The fact that I don’t have a partner is fine; I’ve got a patient instructor for my private lessons and some rather cool people during the group lessons.
I don’t have any huge goals for myself. (Donald Trump would be pissed.) I just want to have fun, do something challenging, and learn a new skill. Currently I’m working with Sara, my instructor, to work up a “Social Foundation” lesson plan geared towards being decently skilled in most social dance situations.
Oddly, I’m really digging the Latin dances that I’ve started to learn. Today is the first day I’ve done the Cha-Cha and we’ve currently done the Mambo and the Rumba.
Tonight a bunch of us from class and some of the instructors are going out to Rednecks, a bar/saloon in town for drinks and dancing. Happy Thursday to me. I’m off to join ‘em now.
Until next time!
