jig
Learned how to do just a little bit of the Charleston last night, by which I mean that I know just enough to make myself look like I’m having an attack of the heebeejeebies, or I’m trying to stamp out a brush fire. I certainly don’t look like I’m dancing. But it could be a… Read.

stumble
Dance lesson last night. Not our usual night because of a switcheroo with another student who couldn’t make his usual time. Don’t know exactly what was wrong with me but I suspect that it had to do with the two left feet I was using. Make that three left feet. Two left feet wouldn’t have… Read.

cajun
The Cajun Strangers were playing at the Harmony Bar on Atwood Ave last night. My Darling B and I saw them once before at the same place and they were a lot of fun even though we quickly found out we didn’t know how to dance to their music. We ended up kind of jumping… Read.

salad
Last night was guy night so I should have been making dinner, but I got out of it by agreeing to mow the lawn instead. And if that sounds like a good deal to you, you’re probably a guy. It really, really needed mowing. Actually, it needed mowing already on Tuesday but My Darling B… Read.

pooped
I was too pooped to drivel last night after dance class. We waltzed from one end of the room to the other in the group lesson, and then we kept on waltzing around the room all the way through our private lesson. And we were working on dance steps for a Viennese waltz. The difference… Read.

Hover
We did quite a bit of hovering the other night, not very well, but we’ve only just begun learning how to. It takes a little practice, but with persistence you, too, can hover. Besides floating above the ground with no visible means of support, hovering is also what our dance instructor calls a step in… Read.

Cutting a rug
Did a little foxtrotting last night, a dance that turns out to be almost entirely different from the foxtrot we learned when we started taking lessons about a year ago. Turns out there are two versions of the same dance, our teacher says, a “slow foxtrot,” the step we learned originally, and a just plain… Read.

No Tango
No dancing tonight – My Darling B’s feeling a little under the weather still. She came down with a freakishly nasty head cold last Friday night, spent pretty much all weekend in bed trying to sleep it off and was feeling well enough to try to tough it out through two days at work, but… Read.

Unstuck in time
I had one of those weird what-day-is-it moments while we were in the middle of a dance lesson last night. I really, really thought it was Wednesday, somehow, even though we’ve had our lesson on Tuesday night for I don’t know how long. I don’t know when or how I convinced myself that it was… Read.

Twirly Whirly
No group dance class tonight, for some reason. We practiced a whole bunch of moves Tuesday night when nobody else showed up for the group lesson, so Mr. Park turned the night into an extended private lesson, starting with waltz. If I remember right, we worked mostly on style, although My Darling B would be… Read.
