Waltzing Matilda

Last night we started our dance lessons and learned the waltz!!! (and since my sister is in Australia this week, I had to give the “Waltzing Matilda” title as a shout out )

I have been nagging Mr. Raspberry to take lessons with me for years and finally he agreed, but I still had to do all the planning (see previous post). But after all that, he had a great time and was taking them so seriously! Our instructor was teaching us to turn and look at the corner of the room, then the wall to the left, then the corner to the left of that, and so forth…and Mr. Raspberry kept whispering to himself, “corner two three, wall two three, corner two three, wall two three…”

SO CUTE! And to think we have seven more weeks of lessons and plenty of dances to learn!

Since our lessons are just to learn the basics, we’ve been debating taking a couple of private lessons with a choreographer afterward to put together a little routine for our first dance!

Has anyone done this? Do you think you enjoy the dance less because you are thinking about your next “move”?
