"One, two, three" I can dance!

  In this post I would like to share how I learn my favorite dance "Waltz" with all of you. "Waltz" seems to be something in well-mannered, classic and elegant to me that I would like to preserve from the history. Of course as a woman's perspective, my favorite part of waltz is that you can dance with the elegant evening dress which I always don't do on daily. What about you?  Do you like traditional dances? I know many people don't, but sometimes they are "a must" especially at formal social events like a evening ball, weddings and festivals.

  I'll never forget the agony of my first waltz. I was twenty years old, and it occurred at my sister's wedding. (Now, I am something in twenty still.) My mother forced me to get my dum-dum cousin Kevin to dance. Naturally, both of us tried to lead. This proved to be quite unsuccessful as well as embarrassing. Therefore, I signed up for dancing school the next day. If I can learn to waltz, so can you-if you remember a few simple steps.

  The most important thing I learned in dancing school was to move slowly. There is no need to hurry a waltz. Second, as I needed to learn, the man always leads in the waltz. So, it's sad there is no leading by me anymore. ( It's sound a little unfair to me and hate being a woman at this point.)   Finally, if you are a beginner, you should count off the steps in your head.  Say to yourself "One, two, three" over and over. Now that you have mastered these three basics, you can go on to the actual movement of the feet.

  The waltz pattern is basically a square. If you are a woman, start by moving your right foot one step backward. If you are a man, start by moving your left foot forward. Then make one step sideways to the woman's left. Then both partners move their feet together. Next, if you are a woman, you move your left foot forward while the man moves his right foot backward. Finally, you both make one step sideways to the man's left, and you'll find that you're back where you started! ( Isn't it sounds easy?) Do it again and move around a little on the dance floor.

  Of course this is only the basic waltz. There are lots of variations throughout, but the key to the waltz is still "one, two, three" beat of the music. My dancing school lessons definitely paid off when I saw my cousin again sometime in last year at another wedding and we danced again in some reasons. Can you guess that he was pleasantly surprised. I can dance!
