Ten years ago I
saw my reflection in the pool dipped my toe in the dark watery hole took a deep breath, then plunged into the indigo wetness. I slid deep down into the slippery rabbit tunnel Landing smack onto the wooden dance floor of Palomar Ballroom Santa Cruz’s Dance Teacher training My entry into this underworld opened wide the door for me into the bigger worlds of social dancing. Since then, I’ve been an Alice in a great Wonderland of social dancing, entering different communities, Waltz, Contra, East Coast Swing, Argentine, West Coast Swing, Waltz, Hustle, Zouk, Lindy, The 17 genres of ballroom dance styles I learned how to teach there has metastasized into more than double that number, and is still growing….and morphing… I’ve been meeting many strange and wonderful characters. (Most of them very nice. NONE of them smoking a houkah) I’m still becoming a strange character myself. One dance makes me larger And one dance makes me small But the one that Teacher gives me, don’t do anything at all… Go ask Peggy…(boomp-ba-boom) I thingggk she’ll knowwwwww. Whoahhhhhh….. Here’s to YOUR wild and wonderful trip through the wonderlands of partner dancing.
