Dance Lessons

Well, Cousin Jen convinced me to go to a WCS (West Coast Swing) dance lesson with her.  A local place in Irvine.  

I truly didn't know a thing about it.   Lots of fun learning the steps.  

After about an hour there was a mini break and then the open dance portion of the evening began.  

My favorite was watching the really good dancers spin around the floor.  The cast of characters was...entertaining. Think "Shall We Dance" the original film (Japanese with English sub-titles).   A mix of people.  

I did manage to step on a few toes, but overall no harm done.  It's going to take a lot of practice to make me a decent dance partner....we shall see.

Zumba with the Postage Stamp Ballerina

My Facebook Post today
"Thanks to Cousin Jennifer I've already done the following today: Seen the Pacific Ocean, had a Hazelnut latte, chatted up a Rockette, stood in the pouring rain while holding MY umbrella over the dog to try to coax her to "go", sang the words "Apple bottom jeans...", met the ballerina who was on the 32 cent stamp, and Zumba-ed for the first time...not necessarily in that order."
I had to include the picture of the stamp even though I'm not the one who took the photo.

The rest of my day was spent stapling together my copies from yesterday. These are just revamps of Jog-A-Thon packets I designed years ago for the elementary school.  New name, new logo, a little bit of the information has changed, but the bones of it are the same.  The Tech-A-Thon packets are set to go home with students on Monday. 

 

My hand is going to hurt when these are done.
