Nice things to hear. Plus, it did feel really good. So we danced the rest of the class like that. Good times.
That's it - Martin is hooked! It sounds great Martin, just wonderful. I'm going to have to try foxtrot and find out why it's so tricky. Julie dances it well (as she does everything) so she can give me a few lessons.

Talking of Julie, she has been going to a beginner AT class and learning to lead. Last night I got a text at the end of her class and start of the practica declaring that she was brain dead, frustrated and that nothing was working. I, of course, replied with the sensitve and caring suggestion that she remember the need to reflect the rhythmic and melodic variations in the music and mark the end of the pauses and to stay relaxed throughout. Her reply was simple and to the point: ".... off"!
