I'll be honest. I have a lot to be nervous about tomorrow - working on a small part of a big deal, a presentation which should be the culmination of a few weeks worth of effort on the product side ... but the thing I'm most worried about?

My dance lesson.

My instructor and I have finalized a routine (an Open Bronze Tango), and this week is the really the first week where I have to be able to run (and LEAD) the whole routine.

I been working nearly the whole weekend on MT stuff - it's been nice to take breaks and crank up the Roxanne tango from Moulin Rouge to practice the routine. (Although I wish my place were bigger - I keep running into my couch and walls.)

The routine, as it stands:

  • Shadow left turn
  • Back fans
  • Shadow right foot lunge
  • Check promenade to shadow ronde
  • Side-by-side rocks
  • Shadow switches
  • Hammerlock kicks
  • Shadow kick-ball-change and twist

I been debating in my mind in doubling up on lessons during the week - these lessons do wonders in stress reduction.

I highly recommend, once again, taking ballroom dance lessons to everybody.
