I've always wanted to learn to dance - the proper way - with lessons. Trying to convince Warren to be my dance partner has not been easy so in order to force him to be my partner, I purchased a gift certificate from a dance studio in Littleton and gave it to Warren and I 'from Santa' last Christmas. The gift certificate is for 2 half hour private lessons and 1 group lesson. With 3 months before the gift certificate expires, I decided we'd better make an appointment for our lesson and so we went to our first one on Friday night.With the kids tucked away at a friend's house, we made our way to the dance studio, Adventures in Dance. Warren seemed a bit nervous and we had no idea what to expect.
Our dance teacher was Craig. He asked us what we want to achieve from lessons and we basically said we'd like to feel more confident and free on the dance floor. We'd also like to show off a bit with a few good moves at venues like weddings or Christmas parties.
We learnt the basic steps for the fox trot, swing and quickstep. Craig demonstrated a few times for us and we saw how flexible he is especially in the hip area and so he has earned the name Swivel Hips (not to his face of course).
If I hadn't know that he is married to the owner of Adventures in Dance, I would have said that Craig favors the other side of the fence.
After our lesson I asked Warren what he thought and his exact words were "It was fun. I don't mind spending money on that." Yippee! So once our gift certificate has been exhausted, we will be going back for more lessons and fun.
