PhuturePriest Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 More specifically, my professional dance lessons. Before the wedding, my family went to this guy for dance lessons. I already knew how to dance, but I wanted to learn more, so I went. At the end of the last session, he said I was an amazing dancer with a "natural rhythm", and asked me if I would like him to teach me how to become a professional dance instructor and help him teach students. Obviously, these are private lessons, which is even more cool. I had my first lesson today, and pretty much, he's going to teach me everything: East and West Coast swing, salsa, rumba, two step, waltz, fox trot, etc. We spent three hours working today, and I'm going to see him again in three weeks. I wrote tons of information down today, and I have to practice everything he taught me every day. I wasn't sure I wanted to learn how to become a professional dance instructor, but now I'm really excited about it and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangetholic Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I took 12+ years of dance from the time I was four until I was seventeen/eighteen (mainly ballet). But ballroom is fun, girls dig it. You're almost too old to become a professional instructor if you haven't had any dance experience before now--but maybe. Dance is to the body what prayer is to the soul. Also, shut up dUSt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said I was incredibly young for starting out, and that most guys start out way later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangetholic Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 With ballroom that actually makes sense as I think about it. Usually guys do not learn/get into ballroom dancing until there is some kind of trigger: a wedding, a girl, a guy, a movie, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Ballroom dancing is pretty cool. It is a good skill to have in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Ballroom dancing is pretty cool. It is a good skill to have in the tank. It really is. I've always loved it, and when he said I was a really good dancer that just triggered a deeper love and passion for it. I was practicing East and West coast swing so intensely earlier, remembering to have a straight spine and all that, that I was literally starting to sweat (That's huge because it's hard to get me to sweat). I had to stop and take a break because I can't afford to sweat in my clothes. Edited March 17, 2013 by FuturePriest387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
