Now, I was prepared for how dance lessons go. When I was in High School, I was in Grand Central Station Show Choir, so I was familiar with counting steps, watching the choreographer closely, working on technique, etc. Adam, however, was new to these concepts. He's a natural when it comes to Snowboarding and Skateboarding, Kayaking, and even Running. (All of which are quite a challenge for me!) So needless to say, the first class to him was a bit stressful. However, as the classes went on, he picked up on things incredibly quickly! The instructors do go pretty fast, but in a thorough way. They want you to learn as much as possible in just 4 lessons-and they did it!
One weekend, Adam and I decided to practice. We went upstairs at the Radio Station where there is a big open room called the Liquid Lounge. We brought a boom box with our rehearsal CD that you get at the end of your first class. We popped it in, and danced away! It was an absolute blast.
By the time our last class rolled around, we were flowing all over that dance floor.
The class was a great way for us to spend time together, laugh, learn, and grow closer. (I know, that probably sounds corny, but it's true!) It's really fun to learn things that your significant other enjoys, and I have to give Adam credit. Lots of it. He decided to try something new for me. Something he knew I was already familiar with. He said he really enjoyed himself, and he would love to do more lessons! And yes, I DID try Snowboarding once...however, it not go nearly as smoothly! OUCH!
Anyway, it was an incredible experience, and I hope we can do more lessons in the future! Something we would DEFINITELY recommend to other couples!
