OT: recusitating the forum the only way I know how...

With my blatherings about unrelated crap!! LOL


This one is great for a laugh, though! As some of you know, I've been taking Latin dancing lessons for about six months -- I was inspired by Emmitt Smith last season on Dancing With the Stars. I feel like a million bucks, I've lost a bit of weight and I'm having SO much fun.

FYI, I'm a TOTAL beginner and had two left feet my entire life, so if I can learn how to do this, anyone can. Also the jive is technically not a latin dance... I had to learn it at a three-hour workshop about three weeks ago. I'm not shitting you. So that's about five hours of practice for the jive.

Today I performed three dances at a street festival with my dance class and it was a HOOT! Really feckin' hot, but I managed to get through. I'm not saying I'm any good, just having a good time. I got music in my soul, in case you didn't know that already. Here are the videos:

I like the Jive the best, you are really good! I wish I could get my hubby to dance like that, all he can do is the two step.
