Dancing for The First Time In 9 Years

Dancing and Oh how happy We are for 9 years, but we made it and we are going to dance in about 6-8 weeks.

58 trophies and 9 years later, I will be a ballroom dancer once again. There were two car accidents and lots of physical therapy and lots of thoughts swam in my head and I said "shall I try again, even at this senior age. a and bit"

I am in another county and in another state where I do not know any body dancing but I and we will try. I thought my husband when I approached him with this thought while he was a bit still a sleepy. Later on when we were washed up and were eating a light breakfast and he mumbled Ok. I thought oh my God, I must be so happy.

We had danced for 30 years, taking lessons, me competitive. I danced in about 8 competitions and won 58 trophies and I love them.When we moved to Northern Virginia, we knew hardly only about 10 folks.
