Tom and Liz are taking piano lessons from a lady at church. Not content with teaching them piano (and she's doing a fabulous job!), she's also introducing me to new movies.
One of them is "Strictly Ballroom." It was directed by the same man who did "Moulin Rouge" (Baz Luhrmann) and was released in 1992. It's Australian, and can't quite decide if it wants to be a drama, a comedy, or a mocumentary on ballroom dance competition, but which ever it is, my daughter Addie and I have fallen in love with it.
So imagine Addie's joy when she found out her school offers Ball room dance as a class in the 9th grade! Extra cool, it would count as both an art and phys ed class for her graduation credits!
Now we both want to do ball room dancing lessons. The biggest obstacle is that the men in our lives (Honey and brother Jake) are flat not interested in doing it. We are taking lessons from another lady at church, and I might say, we are cute. We dance a mean fox trot and swing, and will soon begin the cha cha and the waltz.
Even though Addie is taller than I am, I am the guy. We figure, if she gets the class she wants, she'll be the one dancing the girl's part, so she might as well get used to it. If we could just get other people to come and take lessons with us, so that we could get used to moving through crowds, it would be perfect!
See you on the dance floor!
