DANCING THE PHOTOS

I had a great time dancing at the Mardi Gras Showcase at the Italian Community Center. Who knew ballroom dancing could be so fun? We danced to "Juicy" by Better than Ezra for half of our performance and then switched up to "Ain't no other man" by Christina Aguilera.








Suzana Gossett my partner makes me look good.





Do you think the people behind me are checking out my ASSets? Probably not.

I hope to have a video of our perfomance available to download in the coming weeks.

Dancing, Dancing...Dancing




I'm dancing again. Last spring I took the Celebrity Dance Challenge learning to ballroom dance with my professional dance teacher Suzana Gossett. This Saturday we will dance together again. Suzana puts on a ballroom show at the Italian Community Center each year and has asked me to dance with her again in the Mardi Gras Showcase. Just like last spring I didn't have a lot of time to learn the dance. This past week has been all about learning the moves in hopes that I don't look like a dancing fool. Suzana besides being a great teacher helps keep my confidence going in the dance world as a newbie to this activity. I never really considered learning how to Ballroom Dance prior to last spring, but enjoyed it more than I thought I ever would and knew someday I'd give it a try again and the Mardi Gras Showcase is that time and place.
