Do you want a dance update?
Oy. As they say in the dance world, (and yes, I know all about the dance world now ya know) it was kinda ugly out there tonight. My Mom used to say that when you dance with someone who is good, it makes dancing so easy and fun. Well tonight, I didn't dance with too many good dancers. Remember me telling you about short smiley guy? Well, he's still short, but even he has given up his smile for a look of utter consternation. He couldn't figure out the waltz stuff tonight, so he just kept doing his thing. His thing was making me do a waltz spin, over and over. It was embarrassing because no one else was spinning, but as a good female partner, I have to follow. So I did, and then I made sure I skipped in line and never danced with him again. My other nightmare partner for the evening was bald guy big ego. I haven't told you about him, now don't get him confused with 6'8" guy- we like him. Bald Guy Big Ego
(BGBE) doesn't like to "lead" and gets annoyed when you don't follow. Do you see the problem here? He acts like it is your fault because you didn't promenade- no matter that he didn't give you the slightest hint that he wanted to promenade, well, he didn't even give the slightest hint that he was dancing either. I made the mistake of trying to tell him how to tell me with his hand which way to go. Yeah - that went over pretty well. I tried to skip on him too, but I still managed to have to dance with the guy 4 times tonight. One guy said to me, " I always dance better with you" awww. Isn't that sweet? NO it was sad. I wasn't winning any prizes out there either. Yeah- it was dang ugly. I got mugged out there tonight. My highlight was getting to dance with "The Ringer". I don't know his name, I just know this guy can dance and he makes his partner feel like a superstar. The 2 other girls who did not come with partners were honestly racing me to dance with him. I am not joking here, and while we were dancing if I would look over they would make a face at me! I finally left BGBE and broke the circle and walked right over the "The Ringer" and said "I need to dance with you now". He was loving it. At the end of the class I got the chance to dance with the instructors husband. Dang- I was good. O.k. he was fabulous and made me look good. Can you say superstar? It was like floating to music. And that is why I go back to dance class.
Oh- would you like to know what happened to my partner? Yeah- went and broke his toe. Do we believe him? I don't know..
Hey- don't forget to scroll down and play in the "name that saw" contest-
