I’ve been taking private ballroom lessons regularly on Wednesday afternoons for the last few months. That hour is the perfect midpoint of my week! My teacher is helping me polish American Smooth Waltz, Tango, Viennese, and Foxtrot bronze level routines. Each style has its own personality, and dancing them brings out different facets of my personality. There aren’t many guarantees in life — but walking out of the studio feeling totally blissful and energized is one of them! Highlights today were flying around the dance floor in Viennese waltz to R.E.M’s “Everybody Hurts,” nailing Tango turns, and rediscovering the joy of partner dancing to a bluesy foxtrot number. Looking forward to next Wednesday!
