Last night, for the Mingle, we had another round of dance instruction.
This time we really mixed things up. For the first fifty minutes we did foxtrot. Then we had a ten minute break to either drink water or practice dancing. Next, we spent fifty minutes on cha-cha, and then after a break, we did both waltz and swing. At the very end, the instructor taught me and my partner the basic steps of tango (which were much easier than I expected!).
I had a blast! The turnout wasn't as huge as it was for the swing dancing lessons we did a couple months ago, but we still had a decent amount of people. In February, I liked going in depth in swing, but this was fun too--getting a little taste of each kind of dance, learning a couple basic moves, and then moving on.
It makes me wish I'd taken advantage of all the great dancing classes at BYU while I was there. I'd love to really learn how to dance. I wonder how much it would cost to sign up for lessons around here... and do you have to bring a partner if you do that? Maybe that can go on my bucket list for the future sometime, when I actually have a dance partner to bring.
