Ballroom Dancing

I've been nagging R (the future husband) all summer about going dancing. Finally he gave in and agreed to go dancing with me, so much fun :-)


I found a ballroom and latin class near us, that was absolute beginners-very important!  I re-started the nagging, pointed out the fact that in less than 6 months we would have to dance in front of our friends and family. Crucially pointed out we would be sober and eventually R relented and so off we went.

Honestly I haven't had so much fun for £4 in a long while! The instructor was brilliant, really patient and he had a lovely assistant, Holly, who spent quite a bit of time with us. The first few steps were bad, its very difficult to dance when you are stone cold sober and shy. However eventually we got it and started to really enjoy ourselves. There was minimal foot squashing and there is something very sexy about your partner leading you in a waltz, if you don't believe me then try it. We went to a great class ran by Mark of Dance basics

I'm now itching for the next class, looking for dance shoes (well any excuse to shop) and planning how we can fit in extra sessions.

We've also asked him for some private lessons so we can surprise our guests with our first dance.......so watch this space. Any brides to be who have wanted to go dancing for a while nows the time to ask the other half. A weak moment when they are worrying about the first dance may be all you need to get them hooked!
