6 weeks, really?

Ok, tonight was my second tango lesson. I swear, each week gets more fun. Is it because I'm getting better? I don't think so, LOL. I don't think i was worse but I really do need to learn to relax into the dance and let my chest convey the power it's meant to convey, I always knew my boobs were special.

Tonight there was a completely different mix of people then last week and Linda was there and it was so much fun. I think it helps that we were really getting more comfortable with it. I felt comfortable enough to run my mouth, alright, I know it doesn't take much but it was so easy to make comments and you know I can't resist. I only whispered to the people near me, I tried not to be too distracting:)

In tonight's class we had to learn the etiquette of asking a partner to dance. Man, in the tango it all falls on the man. Not only do they have to lead and make sure my dance experience is wonderful but they also have to be the one to ask. But do they come up and ask? NO! That is incorrect. It's all about eye contact. The male will make eye contact with the female who is usually sitting at a table with her girlfriends and then he'll nod to the dance floor and the female will nod and then go about her conversation as the male makes his way over (and she surreptiously watches). Then he puts his hand out and guides her to the dance floor and they dance for two songs, no matter what. If she's a crappy dancer or stinks it's rude to not dance the whole set and then the male will escort her back to where she was and then before he leaves thanks the female and flatters her. So we had to practice this. All of us girls had to sit and wait for one of the guys to nod at us. As you can imagine there was a lot of laughing going on. The first guy I danced with flashed me a little leg before I danced with him, LOL. The most important part was when they (we did this 3 times) led me back to my seat and told me how wonderful, glorious, splendorifious I was. I, of course, made sure they remembered this part of the ritual.

BTW, if a female doesn't want to dance she avoids making eye contact and if she does make eye contact and she absolutely doesn't want to dance with him she shakes her head vehemently no but she probably won't get asked to dance much after that, LOL.

So only 4 more weeks to go before I'm a master of the craft but here's how I look at it, if the dance is bad, it's the leaders fault *G*.
