Meet Me @ the Barre!

[Strangler Lewis]

Let's see. In fits and starts over the decades, I've taken classes in ballet, jazz dance, ballroom (classic, swing, Latin, etc.) and disco.

No lambada.

My grandest moment was during a ballroom class I took in college through the P.E. department. It was tango time, and the 50+ lady instructor partnered me. "You're very good," she said as the music swelled. "Now, lead with your thighs!"

I took Hip=Hop in my first year of dancing, (my dance teacher was awesome and he still remembers me to this day) and took Jazz- Hip-Hop the year after. I thought it was fun to perform in front of people in our dance outfits, (which I still have.)

Then I had to back off, (due to because of my loose legment(sp?) and back.)
So, this year, I'm finally back in dancing, which is Jazz- Hip-Hop, with the same teacher who taught that class. I don't get to perform, sadly. But, I need to get into the rhythm of it anyway, so, I'm good!

And also, I'm doing a dance thing at my school, (yay!) I just need a partner and know when it's happening. I forget the name of the dance we're supposed to do....

Thinking further, it was a waltz, not a tango.
