Strictly Ballroom

A few weeks ago I signed up to a website called The Daily Do www.dailydo.co.nz who send you a daily email with a special offer in the city where you live. The deal with these offers is that they are usually only available on the day that you receive the email, or are limited in number, so you need to make an (almost) instant decision.

Last week, one of the offers was $10 for three weeks’ tuition of ballroom dancing. Well, obviously we went for it, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this blog! We had our first lesson last night. The class had been running for two weeks already, so some folk knew what they were doing, although we weren’t the only first-timers there. The hall was almost full with people of all ages. I stumbled through a foxtrot, and almost, but not quite, got the hang of rock’n’roll.  

So next week we’ll be back, and hopefully some of what they’re teaching me will rub off, in time for the Social Dance in October.
