May I have this dance?

The past couple weeks I've really wanted to do some partner dancing. I sit at my desk and think about it. I walk home and think about it. I read a book on the couch and think about it.

Obviously, it's time to step it up (ar ar ar) and learn how to lead, because nobody's offering to lead for me. So now it's a matter of finding a class (and someone to take it with me who wants to be my Learning Follow)? Or do I track down someone who'd be willing to give me a couple private lessons (and someone willing to follow)? I know the basics of leading a rock step swing, but I'd like to learn to lead cha-cha and two-step, too.

Me! Meeeee!

Oh! Okay, excellent! You seemed ambivalent about it when I brought it up a couple months ago. But if you're really interested, that would be perfect!

Hurray!

So that's one problem solved...

I probably was ambivalent because I was having a bad day. I like to dance.

You like to dance and you're appropriately sized! =D

you're appropriately sized!

I don't hear that one often. You win!

Dani and I talked about dragging PDA and Matt to lessons too. She had found really reasonable ones. Thanks for reminding me!

You're welcome!

Alas, [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick is avidly uninterested in the idea.

Boo, though on the bright side I get to use the I pout icon again.

I was thinking he must be uninterested, and that when PDA and Matt have learned your partner pool must widen, for Dani and I will want to take them out and show them off!

Yay for more options for partner dancing!

I don't miss many things about A Certain Previous Relationship, but I do miss saying "hey! let's waltz to this one in the living room!" from time to time.

Oooooh, partner dancing! Maybe there's something in the air? Because I've been sniffing around the idea of classes for a while, too.

I'm into the ballroom thing.

I learned those so far back that it seems hard to believe that they are worth a class. We used to do that stuff after school and -- a whole lot back in the 1960's.
