A couple weeks ago we went to Fred Astaire Dance studios in Va Beach. We had a great time at our complimentary dance lesson. Afterward we sat down with the instructor who tried to get us to sign up for $900 in dance lessons. The next day I ordered a DVD off of amazon for $25 including shipping.
Last night we cleared out a space upstairs to try and practice. We had enough room to try about 8 steps and that was it. We took advantage of what we had and feel very comfortable with the individual moves. We need more space to practice dancing to our song and being able to flow with the music. The front yard, which would be plenty of room, is out. The chances of us being carried off by mosquitoes is very high. My next thought was to get some sidewalk chalk, a measuring tape and going to the big parkinglot by my work, we can turn up a car stereo and map out a 24×24 ft square (the size of the dance floor at the Hilton) and practice. We should be out there this weekend if not sooner practising. I think it will work out.
