Dave and I are officially enrolled in the Crash Course in Dance - an 8-week program that starts Monday that will teach us the fox-trot, quick-step, waltz, Viennese waltz, tango, rumba, bolero, cha-cha, samba, meringue, and swing. We're taking it through Milwaukee Recreation, which offers a whole variety of classes that you can sign up for online and participate in at different venues around the city.
We were going to take a cross-country skiing class, but it didn't work out with my schedule. I thought a dance class would be something kind of different and fun to blog about - and it'll give us some good practice for our big day!
Of course, Dave isn't exactly thrilled about being dragged to a dance class, especially eight times. I told him I'd make it up to him somehow ...
I have absolutely no idea what to expect, but it's sure to be an interesting experience. Stay tuned!

There is NO. Way. I would get my husband to do that. I wish, though.

Should be useful for you wedding. Plan out and practice a major routine for your wedding dance.

Those classes are a riot! You really get a good cross-section of people. From young soon-to-be-weds to the old married couple who do it to get out on a Monday night. My wife and I enjoyed it.
I hope you have as much fun with your teachers (we had some interesting ones) and your fellow dancers as we did. Can't wait to hear the stories.

You should have alot of fun. We took shag lessons once but I quickly forgot the moves. And I noticed your post below....I love blackjack too. We try to get off to a casino as much as possible.
Michele says hello!

You are living my dream. I could not get my DH to take a dance class with a gun to his head. Lucky gal. Enjoy swing dancing. It is a blast.
Here from Michele's...

YES!!! Dancing can be a lot of fun. My friends & I are into this ballroom dancing session every Wednesday and it has not only improved our dancing skills but our outlook in life. I personally have become more positive with a lot of things. Hope it will do the same to you.
Cheers from Michele.
