Dancing update...

So... we had our dancing lesson last night. :D First, I have to say - we are having a lot of fun! Everyone is in the same position - brand new and feeling like total clutzes! This week went better than last week - in my opinion. Since I wasn't going in the wrong direction half the time! LOLOL My husband and I did practice somewhat this last week, but we kept having to stop on that box turn - since we had alternating opinions as to how we're supposed to do it! (I was taught one thing with the teacher, and he was taught another with the other teacher and group.) So practicing just wasn't working out! LOL... turned out we were both a bit wrong!! (we were both open to that possibility also! Good thing, huh?) Anyway.... the instructor recapped the week before and had us do quick displays before moving on. When he got to the box turn, MANY hands went up!! LOL! Apparently we weren't the only ones that were having issues there! And once explained we all caught on very quickly (thank goodness!!) it wasn't all that difficult after all! They added in a second position move... very simple... but add it in to what we already knew... guys were constantly counting and girls were just going with the flow... sometimes on their own off in a different direction... sometimes being led by the guys. LOL Felt like a comedy of errors! We will DEFINITELY BE PRACTICING this week!!! :D It's still very strange rotating and dancing with 10 different men... as everything changes with each new partner!! But.. it's getting a little easier! (Thank God!!) But I'm always soo thrilled to be back to my husband with each rotation!! I know his gait, how long his legs are and how big his steps are. His height and frame feel comfortable in my arms and make everything a lot less awkward!! Next week is our last week for the Rhumba and then we start the Cha-cha! And then after 2 weeks, we're either done, or we sign up for level 2. (I think we'll be continuing! We'll see!!) Now... I sooo wish i had pictures of this... but I don't :( This weekend Dan and I were out in the garage practicing a little, and the girls came out and were mesmerized! LOL So Calli lines up behind dad and starts copying his footsteps! She had the whole thing DOWN PAT in about 5 minutes!?! (kids are just amazing!!) So we taught her, and then taught Emily... and us girls were all "line dancing" our part. Then the girls took turns dancing with their Daddy! How cool, huh?!? Their smiles couldn't have gotten any bigger!! When Bailey got home, I pulled him aside and taught him the same thing! Then the kids danced together partnering!! OK... so call me the biggest nerd on the planet!!! But that was so incredibly heart warming and NEAT! My smile couldn't have gotten any bigger!! LOL We're hoping that during a slow point in the week, we can show them what else we learned and continue it! And YES I will make sure to have my camera this time!!! :D And on a side note....
