Ballroom dancing seems to be making a comeback, if the popularity of the TV show “Dancing with the Stars” is any indication. To tell the truth, I’ve felt a little intimidated the few times I’ve watched that show. Those tricky dance moves, those judges, those skimpy costumes … YIKES!

Some years ago, my husband and I decided to step out of our comfort zone and take some ballroom dance classes for beginners. Soon we were waltzing, foxtrotting and tango-ing our hearts out. It was good exercise, and the dancing … well, let’s just say we wouldn’t win any prizes, but we had a lot of fun!

If you’ve ever wanted to learn to waltz or foxtrot, then you’ll be interested in the Ballroom Dance Classes for beginners being held at the Kitsap Dance Center Facility. The lessons will be Tuesday evenings, from 6:30 – 7:30 pm beginning April 8th (tonight!) and running through April 29th. The fee is just $32 per person, and you can reserve your spot or get more information by calling 360-877-5181. Both singles and couples are welcome to attend.

Because this is a class for beginners, the tricky steps will be kept to a minimum, there won’t be any judges to worry about, and the skimpy costumes are strictly optional! (grin)
