Winter Texans, 2007-2008 – The Dance

Thursday, January 24, 2008 (DAY 28) Dance Class 001After a great night’s sleep in a bit cooler weather, we started our day at country western dance class. We decided to attend today rather than try to go Tuesday PM because we have to turn in the rental car on Tuesday at 3 PM. We did well, for beginners. After several lessons, we had become acquainted with the instructors and, consequently, got a lot of personal instruction today as they knew it was our last day. We have essentially completed the basic class, which included the 2-Step, the western polka, the swing, and the waltz, all with inside and outside turns, and conversation steps. We’re ready to put this into action! Actually, country western dance lessons were a high light of the trip. The weather today was cloudy and foggy, with occasional rain. After dance lessons, it was off to our last choir practice, followed by our quintet practice. Pine to Palm sponsored a dance in the evening, with a 4 piece country western band. It was time! While the band only played 2-step music, we danced part of the night away, and I didn’t embarrass Kay.
