another dance lesson
Topic: dance

Okay, let's see what I can remember. We added three things in swing and three or four in rhumba.

Swing. a travel move where i basically walk my partner down the floor eight steps, starting by pulling her in on the first step, then alternating. A real skit turner. Then there were two variations of a kick step. Left foot kicks out and the rocks back.

Rhumba. reviewed steps. First, basic salsa style. Step back. Turn in with twirl out. Underarm turn on back step. New were Cuban steps to travel, Cuban steps to travel back. Then leading Cuban steps. I think those were all there were.

We saw ourselves on video. Not a good thing, like hearing yourself speak on a tape. Almost unrecognizable at times. It didn't look anything like it felt, and how it felt...and feels...is much more important that how it looks. To others, it must look the way we feel. I like that.
