We had our first dance class tonight!
I was a little nervous!! Usually I’m pretty confident in any type of classroom atmosphere, but I’m pretty much a failure when it comes to kinesthetic learning. Okay, not a failure, but I learn more slowly that way.
Of course, I took pictures while I was waiting for the class before us to finish. Isn’t the ballroom glam? Lol. Maybe I’m crazy, but I honestly thought there would be more couples our age! ! But there was probably only even one couple in their thirties! But that’s no big deal. The worst part was definitely that we had to trade partners. Constantly!! I’m way too shy to dance with all of those people! I don’t like talking to strangers let alone let alone dancing with them!! Haha. I survived.
We’re taking General Ballroom so we started off with the Foxtrot. I’m pretty sure I’ve never even attempted that one before!
I didn’t exactly work up a sweat, but we definitely earned some Menchie’s!
Two new flavors!!! I loved the butterscotch. And it was No Sugar Added — like old people candy!! 
I’m over the fro-yo toppings and just go for SPRINKLES every time.
While we were there, I got my stealthy husband to SPAM their bulletin board with my business cards. A fro-yo spot is a good place to find students, right??
When we got home, we practiced our new moves in our pj pants. It took some serious furniture rearranging, but we did it!!! And Pippa get squeezing in between us… as if two feet weren’t enough to worry about stepping on!
Earlier…
Today’s WOD via the WOD Genius app:
In case you’re wondering what shoes I wore tonight (lol – I’m sure you are), I wore my winter shoes.
Go for it guys! Dancing is brilliant. Before you know it you will actually start to feel good at it! You just have to get beyond the first couple of months. It’s so great you are doing it as a couple.
WOO! Dance class! How cool. And BRAVE of you.
So fun! I love freestyle dancing, but I’m pretty pathetic at anything that takes actual mastery of certain moves. Too bad because I’ve always wanted to be on So You Think You Can Dance.
no toppings?!?!?! whattttt?! but I mean if you find kids from menchie’s maybe they’ll give you menchie’s gift cards during the holidays.
The husband and I took swing dancing class when I was in college. It was so much fun! Ballroom dancing would be amazing.
I have always wanted to try ballroom dancing because it just looks like SO much fun!
By boyfriend says I need dancing classes, so I’m excited to start when our schedule gets a bit better! I love how Pippa wants to dance too, that sounds about right
My husband and I took dance lessons before our wedding. It was fun, but the teacher was super creepy so that kind of scared us away! lol
Butterscotch!!! That sounds so amazing!
Yay for your first dance class!! How exciting!
I took a dance class when I was 18 and we were the youngest by far. They were all over 50, maybe this was also why I didn’t really enjoyed it back then, but I also had huge problems learning all the steps. Hope you enjoy it more than me!
Ballroom dance classes sound so fun! I was a dance major in college but the one style I never learned was ballroom! I’d love to try it someday!
How fun!!! I took a Latin Ballroom dance class. You think the Foxtrot is awkward? Try the tango – you get CLOSE. I kept blushing the whole time
Also, Pittsburgh has lots of dance nights at schools, churches, community centers, and restaurants. Maybe Denver does, too!
great place to post! I love that you signed up for this dancing class, so cute!
I have never taken a formal dance class besides ballet when I was a kid. I would love to learn the tango
That’s so cool that you guys are taking dancing lessons! Little Pippa is such a sweetheart
Ahhh the shoe books!! You’ve Got Mail is my secret favorite movie. I don’t really announce it…but I watch it like every other day. Hahah!
anthony and i took ballroom dance a year or so ago — totally fun! of course we have forgotten it all by now. keep up the practice!
Yay for dancing lessons! That’s really cool–I’m impressed that you guys are taking them! I can’t wait to hear more about it. Maybe you two could do a little video for us?!?
That’s so awesome you guys signed up for dancing classes! Learning how to salsa dance is on my bucket list of things to accomplish sometime in life! You better believe I’ll be rewarding myself with fro yo too
