Dance baby, dance

So tonight i have my ballroom dance lesson.  Yes me...ballroom dancing.  i know, i know, i'm not the most graceful woman on the planet but honestly, this is so much fun. My instructor is about 70 yrs old and about a foot shorter than i, but he can whirl me around like a top!  And i only stepped on his toe once (and was mortified!) and i'm getting better and he says i'm a natural (HA!) and it just feels so nice and girlie to be dancing....

My instructor, Jerry, said that there are more men taking ballroom dance lessons as well, ever since the movie "Shall We Dance" came out!  Men who would normally pooh-pooh such things are realizing that women want to be romanced via dancing and it IS a terribly sexy thing to know that a man can 'take charge' and lead you around a dance floor.  ::sigh::  i personally love the movie 'The Tango Lesson'...it is highly romantic and the music and dancing are just superb...and maybe, just maybe there is a fantasy in me that is lived out in the last scene...where the gal is dancing with three men..passed from man to man but the ultimate one who loves her is the one who 'keeps' her...hmmmm......
