14 MAY

Insight into ballroom & latin dance class:
Sean and I haven't danced together in 5 weeks. Before the class started I was wondering whether we would be able to fall right back into flow - regarding both steps and our bond in dancing. Neither of us practised any of the routines since the last class, yet I was fairly optimistic. The class did focus on latin (cha cha, rumba, jive, samba and pasodoble) which we felt more familiar - and relaxed - with.
For a warmup we got given a quickstep (ballroom). Sean was not reading me, our connection was weak, he only remembered the basic step, I did not remember the most recent (gold) steps. It felt chaotic and slightly disappointing. I knew that a small break would cause us to loose focus, skill and memory, but I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. Thankfully after a song or two we could forget about this failure and move on.
Cha cha. Alright, hopes rose again. Sean leaned in and whispered that we probably have this engraved in the back of our heads. [Note: sometimes before starting a new style, we encourage each other that we have it under control / we can ace it / we got this. It really does help our morale]. Indeed, cha cha went fairly smoothly, although Sean did forget a step or two here and there. He clapped too early in one step and laughed it off saying that he was just too excited. Morale up!
Rumba. Our least favourite dance
