Let me wake up in the morning to find I have somewhere exciting to go...

Tonight is the first swing dance party of the season, which means that I am super, super excited.  The woman who runs the parties just opened her own studio, so no more over heated church with creepy resident in plaid pants glowering in the corner.  Yeah! Also, it looks like the parties might increase in number from once a month and also take on Argentinian Tango and Salsa in addition to swing.  Granted I do not know how to Argentinian Tango, and while I do know how to Salsa (and am probably better at it than swing) I'm not as huge a fan as most other people seem to be. 

I think my problem with the salsa (and the majority of the other latin dances) is that I don't regard myself as sexy in anyway.  Cute I can see, and graceful, while not a common state of mine, does poke through from time to time.  But sexy -- not really happening.  Which is why my favorite ballroom dances go in the order of 1. Jive, 2. Waltz, 3. other standards. Now if I could just find a class that would cover the dances I like, leave out the ones I don't, and meet every other week.  Yeah, I know, not terribly likely.
