Went to dancing lessons again last night, im slowly getting the hang of it i reckon. Anyway, enough about me…

I think ive figured out Melanies dancing ‘style’. She seems to like counting the steps out loud while she does it. i.e. “1, 2, cha cha cha, 3, 4, cha cha cha” etc which at times gets a bit repetitive but i figured she needs to do it for timing or whatever. Anyhoo, last night i actually watched her feet while she was saying the things out loud, and it seemed kinda funny that her feet were not doing the same as what her voice was saying.

It then dawned on me that her saying the steps out load is actually a big smoke screen! People hear her saying the steps and assume she is doing it right, when actually all she is doing is saying the steps and stamping around! Its funny to see

Mouth says ’1, 2, cha cha cha, 3, 4, cha cha cha, twirly round, twirly round, 1, 2, cha cha cha, 3, 4, cha cha cha
Feet do “stomp, stomp, stomp stomp stomp, stomp stomp, stomp stomp stomp, stompy stompy stompy stompy, … …. ”

Its so funny to see

I think we are both getting better though, and as long as everyone else THINKS we know what we are doing – thats all that matters right?
