I think that I would love ballroom dancing. Of course I have two left feet, but.... The tango is oh so sexy to watch when it's done well.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi James,
Yes. It is. Ballroom dancing is really fun. Why not give it a try. Trust me, I have 2 left feet too. Hehe.
I can remember my mother and her girlfriend going ballroom dancing back in the 1950. People didn't sit home, glued to their electronics as they do today. Maybe that's why they weren't so fat then!!!
Thanks for sharing and bringing back the memories.
Best wishes.
Frederick
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi Frederick,
Glad you enjoyed reading the article. Besides your mother and her girlfriends, do you ballroom dance too?
Hi Julie,
In my younger days, I did a lot of Western Dancing. I haven't tried ballroom dancing, but maybe it could be added to our exercise routines.
Best to you.
Frederick
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi Frederick, You should definitely try it. Ballroom dancing is a lot of fun. Um...Western Dancing. Is that line dancing? -Jufi
It wasn't line dancing, Julie. Back in the 1960's Western style Square Dancing was the in thing in rural New England.
Best to you.
Frederick
