It's almost impossible to believe I only started ballroom dancing lessons in April this year. It has been quite a journey and is FAR from over!
(The MOSTEST fun I've had since riding Goldwing motorcycles on summer trips!!)
I started out with group lessons once a week, followed by a practice party. I felt like I had 2 left feet and no brains! I could hardly remember the steps!
There's a thing called muscle memory and one is supposed to keep at it until it comes naturally . . . like breathing.
In May, I started private lessons in Whiterock at the Arthur Murray dance studio. Wow! One on one attention is so cool! I got to go over & over a sequence of steps until I "got" it, not to mention getting to dance with a handsome, young man!!
Too bad that I forgot everything I learned the minute I left the studio!!
I also just "happened" to sign up the day before the Spring Festival began! What a hoot! Eight weeks of Friday night dance parties, bonus dance lessons and oodles & oodles of fun with the Themed costume parties! The Fesitval included a bus trip to Harrison Hot Springs for live music & dinner/dancing!
You would think that after nearly 3 months of all THIS, I would be a great dancer!! hahaha! I still feel like I'm half brain dead & have 2 left feet! The instructors keep assuring me that this will continue . . . like . . . . forever!
So back to weekly group lessons & dance parties to practice, practice,
practice!
practice!
It's important to find your passion and keep at it! Whoohoo!
