I went out latin dancing with a few people and for the first time ever, I was hit on and asked out at a bar. Even though he'd already asked if I had a boyfriend. @.@ And here I thought I could have a fun evening dancing! XD Damn boys, go away! I already have one and I don't want no more.
Seriously, though, it was a blast. I spent a good part of the time dancing with this nice older (that is, at least twice my age) Latin American man who took things slowly, showing me the basic movements at first, repeating them so I could catch on -- and by the end of it, he was whirling me around and dipping me like nobody's business! At least ballet's given me that much, I can turn pretty well. But next time, I'm wearing shoes that were meant for dancing; these ones were just not quite slipperly enough. I danced with a few other guys as well, and watched all the really good dancers. And G, your Asian brothers can dance, so what's stopping you? *petulant* (One of them was a bit too enthusiastic, however, and nearly dislocated my finger trying to get me to turn and bend over and go under his arm all at once. >_<)
