My last private dance class was yesterday and it was so much FUN! We took the two least ones and my very, very good friend, Tina, who's been in town the last week. It was a treat to show her what oldest daughter and I had been talking about all this summer.
Anyway, my sweet Cuban dance instructor went over all that we'd done---a re-hash with the FoxTrot, Waltz, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Tango, and Swing. Then, after I'd taken off my dance shoes, he drew me onto the dance floor one more time (turns out we had a few more minutes of my class left), and he taught me how to Salsa. My goodness. My endorphins kicked in and I had the most absolutely wonderful time. Seems I've danced enough now to be able to follow better. He showed me the foot moves and off we went. Can't say as I'm any good, but it's so thrilling to be able to actually cut loose and dance. No hesitation. Just dancing.
It's exhilarating. And oldest daughter and I promised him we'd be at his Cuban Salsa group class on Thursday. I love it!
