After going to ballroom classes once a week for four years,
having a year’s break was actually quite difficult. I didn’t realise how much I
enjoyed it until I suddenly had to give it up.
I had to give it up due to going to Nottingham Trent University,
as there were no ballroom dance classes there. However, moving to the
University of Buckingham, I have been able to find a ballroom class called
Dance. Tonight was my first lesson and it really was so enjoyable. I was unbelievably
nervous as I had decided to go to a later class, which was more advanced.
Once
I got there, I realised I was going to be the only youngster as many couples
were late thirties early forties.
When the class started I watched to see what steps people
knew. I knew, by just watching for a couple of minutes that I knew I was going
to be able to cope. The steps here were quite basic, which was good as I hadn't
been dancing for ages. However, I did start to get a bit bored, but I was very
glad that I had come to try out the lessons. We did the samba and the
quickstep.
After this lesson I decided to stay onto the advanced class,
and I am so proud of myself for doing so. I ended up being the teacher’s
assistant for most of it. Even though I didn’t know the steps I was picking
them up fast and really enjoying every moment of it. It was terrifying dancing in
front of the class but quite exhilarating at the same time.
