Swinging Spring

1, 2, 3, 4 back step. 1, 2, 3, 4 back step.  Robert got that one down quickly..as for the inside turn vs. outside turn...

That's right, I finally found a place to go dancing at night in Peoria (which also was a good opportunity to get dressed up). We tried our first night swing dancing at Body Fitness last weekend. The first hour was a quick lesson where we learned the 6-step, a few different turns (Robert's favorite was the Man Turn, haha) and the dip. After the hour lesson, it was open dance. We had a lot of fun. He spun me along the dance floor all night, but we kept missing the end of the song for the dip, so we decided to test it out in the middle of a song. We nailed it! But we could never hear the end of the song coming up. Just as we were getting ready to leave and decided it would be our last dance, Robert quickly tried out the dip - - however, I was not prepared! He threw my arm around his shoulder, took me back and Boom! how quickly I fell on the dance floor. Whoops.

We decided to stay for one more dance to end on a good note. A trip to the Ice Cream Shack afterward helped heal my bruise.
