I started learning how to dance about 5 years ago. I did not expect to love it, I thought I'd learn how to do a proper waltz and be done.
Nope, I am competing (well, I am sidelined right now, but anxious to get back on the trail). thru my illness, it was my happy place, I could go there and not be treated like a patient, just do what I can do, test balance and dizziness, and, more importantly, my brain. It's not as good at accepting instruction, remembering, wiring between head and feet, etc., so I think Learning is a good thing for me to "rewire" or whatever. I am a good test case for them, as breast cancer is going to strike a lot of women over time.
I just wondered if any tuggers are into it. I study with Fred Astaire, my instructor is a retired pro. I have so far gotten to advanced bronze in waltz, foxtrot, tango, W Coast Swing, E Coast Swing, Rumba, Cha Cha, V Waltz and Samba. I may be forgetting something...
In my current "idle time" I am getting back to sewing. Proper competition ballroom attire is crazy expensive for the ladies so I am going to learn how to make my own. The lady requires "a closet", can't just get mileage from A Dress for years. Hoping I can get some devious stuff going, like mix and match bodice with skirts. We'll see. This is what cheap remnants are for!
