The First Dance Lesson

Remember back when I said I was going to learn to really dance with my husband? Well, I fiiiiiiiiiinally remembered far enough in advance today to not make any plans. I found this excellent site for learning ballroom dance and it actually lays things out pretty plainly.

Today, we learned the correct posture and hand positions and a basic American style waltz. (I'm not sure what the difference is, they just had "International," "Latin," and "American.") We also learned to do it with the quarter turn and the reverse turn.

Then Madie woke up.

We both had a lot of fun with it. I think it'll be great learning to ballroom dance! I've always thought it was so beautiful. The best part is, I don't have to drag my husband kicking and screaming through it. He's eager to learn!
