Dance lessons {worth every penny!}

Mike and I have been taking dance lessons for the past couple months..and we've grown a liking to swing dancing! Scratch that. We freaking LOVE swing dancing!

We decided to show off a little and throw down some swing at Jeff and Kelly's wedding...

Here are some pictures..(Imagine "Zoot Suit Riot" by Cherry Poppin' Daddies playing in the backround..)

Enjoy!

We registered....again!

I've been slacking lately! Sorry to those who read my blog!

Saturday we registered (again) at Target! It was MUCH MUCH faster at Target. We entered our info into a computer and they gave us a gun..and we were on our way! It was a lot of fun!

So..we are done! Woo Hoo!

We are registered at Target and Bed Bath and Beyond.


Saturday night we decided to go out for a couple drinks...after a long bike ride and a session of swing dancing. Our Best Man, Rob came out to join us. We all had SO much fun! I guess at one point Mike put a Benny Goodman song on in the Juke Box and we were swing dancing in the bar!!! OMG! (I'm glad I don't really remember it!) It was nice to see Rob, we don't see him that often.

Sunday was a day of recuperating. We hardly ever drink anymore...so we were a bit hungover. YUCK. It was a good reminder WHY we don't drink anymore!

All in all it was a great weekend!

this white girl dance dance!

Last night was day 1 of dance lessons. I will admit I was a bit nervous. Mike has a lot of experience dancing..and I don't. So, I assumed that it would take me a long time to catch on. HOWEVER...I rocked it out!!!! I caught on VERY fast! It was Mike who was having a hard time. He just couldn't get the steps right. Poor thing! I felt so bad for him. But by the end of class he was doing a lot better. But we have lots of practice to do!

My Aunt Therese (my 'Fairy God-Mother) and Uncle Steve (her husband) joined with us. I was afraid they were going to cancel the class..so I was trying to find people to join. And my Fairy God-Mother came to my rescue! How lucky am I! Also, our dance instructor is the cutest thing! She is older...I mean older. She is probably in her late 60's, but damn that woman can shake her hips! She is so sweet and such a good teacher! She was using me as an example to help Mike..and my Aunt catch on. (Yes..I was that good!) She reminded me of one of the cast member from Mary Tyler Moore!

You really don't realize how many muscles you use when you're dancing! Everyone was so sore by the end of the class! I wasn't sore at all, but I've always had especially strong leg muscles. (Not sure why..) But I'm so excited to also loose (more) weight..throughout this dance class!

The dance class is only for a month. But there are 2 different classes....and Miss. Jan (our instructor) invited us to join both! And they restart and continue until November. You bet your bottom dollar we are going to keep going! It's so much fun! We all had a blast. Sorry no pictures!!! Maybe next time I will bring my camera

After class we all went out for some drinks....we had so much fun! It's nice to share this experience with loved ones!

I can't wait till next Friday!

Dance Class!!

We enrolled in a dance class at our local park district! We start Friday. I'm sooo excited! It will be another form of exercise and something fun to do as a couple. It will also relieve some stress. I'll keep you posted as to how it turns out....


We are hoping to try out for America's Best Dance crew.....HA!!! (ya right!)
