hkellickYou know I'm not complaining about adding more moves to my 'dance arsenal'. I really am not.
But I can't help but be a little surprised when we got into class today and Michael says "OK. Back to Freestyles work. Rumba! We want to teach you a few new things to get you moving around the floor a bit with Rumba.
*blinkblinkblink*? But.. we DO move around the floor with Rumba. We've been able to do that since the wedding and we've, like, learned things since then. So... uh.. what are you talking about?
Crossovers!
So he leads us through this fairly complicated list of footwork. Forward-left-together-left-forward-step-back90degrees.. meh, you don't care. It was this complicate list of footwork that took us 20-25 minutes to entirely understand well enough to be able to do on our own. (And it only gets more complicated from here! But that's another post! ;) )
By the end of the day, K and I could do the pattern well enough. We just have to keep practicing it until it's memorized.
I can't help but wonder what he's going to throw at us next? Something to help make our Swing Dance move around the floor?
... actually.. yes, probably!
We'll find out Monday!
