Topic: Danny and the cha cha? Nahhh...couldn't be.

So this is interesting, tonight out of the blue a friend of mine invited me to go out dancing with her at the local Leisure World. I've never considered myself to be a great dancer by any means, but I actually had a LOT of fun tonight! It was more of a class, which consisted of me, my friend, her parents, and about 5 couples age 65+, but I had a great time! I've never taken classes or anything before, so tonight was really about learning, and we were doing the cha cha (not the horizontal cha cha mind you).

The lady teaching the class said I picked it up really quickly, especially the rhythm of it all. I've got music to thank for that...there were many nice things said about me tonight which were a great encouragement, and I'm definitely going back next week. We covered the basic cha cha, the Newyorker, and something which I think was called the Spot Spin...in any case it was a blast!

Anyway it was unique, fun, and great exercise, so I thought I'd share smile

Hey Danny,
That sounds like good fun. I'm a big fan of Strictly Come Dancing on the quiet wink
Won't be long before you're getting to grips with the tango eh? I hope to see some photographic evidence of course. I can imagine you looking like Antonio Banderas in Zorro!!

Unfortunately Tripsy I recently cut my hair off. All of it.

Completely off.

So I'll have to grow a mustache or something to that affect to look like Antonio Banderas...I'll work on it though, and I'll get back to you. tongue

Re: Danny and the cha cha? Nahhh...couldn't be.

Danny, it's known as the horizontal "bop", so you can cha-cha all you want. Keep up the good work.
