I'm in a non-lethal weapons instructor course at the moment. M-T we beat each other up with unarmed defense techniques. Wednesday we were pepper sprayed and did all that fun jazz. Thur we were tazed and had to do the taser qualification course etc. Friday we put on riot gear and threw rocks and baseballs at each other.

Ya know, I can't help but think that there's a teenage boy (or bunch of them) out there saying "Coooool job, dude"!

Is it too late to add my $.02 on dancing? There has to be some love for ballroom. I like it when men tell me what to do o.O

Same here

I'd love to learn how to tango, I gotta admit.

the only ballroom dance classes around here are for the jitterbug. plus my husband doesn't want to take a class. Salsa would be fun, too.

I want to learn how to do the Charleston. I am really terrible at dancing though, not coordinated in the least. I can't even waltz, just can't remember how to move my feet (and I've been taught numerous times).

Viannese Waltz and Tango are my favorites by far, but I think salsa could be fun if I learned more steps. Samba, too, once I got the syncopation down.

Wonder- actually when I have a flat out beginner I try to start with waltz or foxtrot because they're relatively easy- but it takes some people quite a while. That's pretty normal.

Waltzes are fun, as are polkas. When I was in German Dancing, they could only give me certain partners because I have a nasty tendency to try and lead from the female's position.

I'm saying "Cool JOB dude!"

[drssgchic]

I want to learn to polka! The fast kind, not the old-folks kind. I've been led through it once or twice and it's fun

Naiad- My problem was less trying to lead and more just not following. "You don't know what you're doing, so why should I listen to you?" I could stop ANYBODY

The Dallas area (Denton, more specifically, I believe) has a "nuclear polka" group called Brave Combo. Here's one of their songs:


My personal favorite polka of theirs is:



(Unfortunately, that one doesn't have all the correct lyrics, but it's all I can find.)
