| From Johann Strauss Ball 2009 (album) I'm somewhere in the background there. As usual I didn't get many pictures of myself, but sometime I'll link to more. |
After a 4-week crash course in the Viennese waltz and the polonaise, we performed several dances along with 15 other pairs. By all accounts we were magnificent.
I also had a chance to try some other ballroom styles. I hadn't danced a waltz or foxtrot since high school social dance class. 6 years ago while wandering in Paris I came upon a Tango sur les quais de Seine and was enchanted. For the first time that I can remember, I really wanted to dance. Yet in all the time since, I had never danced a tango until the ball. At least... I hope it passed for a tango! I may have to learn to dance properly, now.
