Learning to dance

The opportunity for hubby and I to take some dance classes. I love dancing. I've never done more than slow dancing or 'party' dancing- you know the kind- you're at a party with a large group of people, and everyone is just kind of moving to the music in no specific way or order- kind of 'wiggling and hoping for the best'. But, I do love doing it. It's a lot of fun! Unfortunately, hubby isn't very rhythmatically blessed, so he doesn't enjoy dancing. I even kind of 'made' him slow dance with me the last Christmas party, and, well.. yeah.
SO we signed up for these classes- the teacher is hilarious! He's just great! We learned the steps to the 10 step, 2 step, Country Swing, and another one, something like 'jitterbug' I believe. He didn't specifically say, 'now we're going to learn the 2 step' he just went from one set to the next, because they flowed together so well. The 10 step is pretty much the only one I can say "Yes, this is the 10 step" LOL

I do have to admit, it was awkward watching my husband dance with other women, as most of the time he was. We had about 6 more women than we had men, so the men would rotate partners so everyone had a chance to participate. Not only did he have to dance with other women, I had to dance with other men. While I was dancing with the others, I didn't really notice- I didn't completely feel comfortable dancing with other men, but I knew it was all in the name of learning. But there was a couple of times I had to sit out because we ran out of men, and I just watched him dance with the other women, and I have to say, I was jealous.

We only have 3 more classes, unfortunately. But I hope we can remember most of what we've learned and try and go out on a few dates occasionally! I'm not a huge fan of bars, but I know I'll have to get used to them if I want to go dance. More importantly, I hope he can remember the steps and keep up with the rhythm. :)
