Doing the Box Step....For Now

So HG and I have started ballroom dancing.  We've had 2 classes so far, and our instructor is really cool.  We're going to Arthur Murray, and the way they teach dance is different...you don't just learn all about one type of dance at a time, or per lesson...they teach you how the dances are all similar.  That way, you don't have to wait until a certain type of song gets played...you can figure out which dance goes with the music and can move with it.  So far we've learned a bit of foxtrot, rhumba, and waltz.  Surprisingly, HG is having a really good time with it.  (Ive wanted to get into ballroom dancing since like college, when I had a day of ballroom dance in my jazz dance class.  So I'm totally there.)  HG has been talking about getting me some special shoes for dancing in, and tonight he came home from work with 2 pair.  (Unfortunately, my feet are just a wee bit wide for them.  Both of the pairs he got have to be returned Monday, which means he'll have to lug them all day so he can exchange them on his way home...the store thats right on his route from the T into work isn't open when he goes in.)
