Mark and I just finished the Ballroom Dance lessons that I signed us up for without really asking. Our 14 year old son took them with us. The class was taught by a friends of ours and was made up of homeschooled teens and a few married couples. I love to dance and have fond memories of dancing to big band records with my dad in our living room when I was young. Mark, not so much. But still, since our middle son is getting married this summer, he was a good sport and figured it might be good to have a couple of smooth moves to show off on the wedding dance floor.
In seven 2-hour lessons, we learned the foxtrot, waltz, cha cha, East Coast swing, and Virginia Reel, as well as dance floor management and etiquette. We also learned a few other things.
I will follow, but only if I think he is "doing it right". Otherwise I will boss and complain.
I won't follow if he isn't leading strongly enough. What am I, a mind reader?
It is important for the man to keep a strong frame, and for the lady to offer resistance so he can direct her. Well, finally something I'm good at!
Our friends who were helping teach the class laughed
