If you close your eyes all the way, then open them up just to a tiny slit, then quickly glance at this picture then quickly glance away, well, then you'll sort of know what Dan and I looked like at our salsa dancing lessons tonight!!
Hilary, from Eurodance, was our instructor again. My dance partner this time was Dan. Last time he was out of the country - great excuse to not be at the dance lessons. But tonight - he had the privilege of being my dance partner. Going into it, I knew that Dan would have two left feet and be rhythm challenged. And he definitely was all that. But, surprisingly, by the end of the evening, we both were somehow doing the basic steps for a merengue and a salsa dance. It was pretty fun and very funny at the same time. I got to do a lot of twirling which I was actually pretty good at. I really wish we had the event on video. Maybe we'll perfect our steps and take it on the road.
After dancing, we had (of course) chips & homemade salsa (awesome salsa made by Trish) and assorted cookies. Another great evening of fun at Fellowship North Church.
