It's all hips and fingers!

I feel like I've discovered a whole new set of muscles since learning cha cha, even Alex and the YorkSport Exec couldn't help me find them to stretch out the agony!

I'm really loving learning this though, it's such a whole new style of dancing, I'm having to totally re-program! Sum is being ever so patient with me he's a great teacher. I've learnt the routine now but I just need to remember it and, as Joel said, start concentraing on technique.

I've realised though, how lovely it is to see men dancing! I think that sometimes it's harder for men to shine on the dancefloor in clubs etc. as it usually turns into a bit of a showground for girls swinging their hips and doing their thing. Now, seeing Matt and Tom and Jamie dancing is just so lovely and great to watch! And, I feel, really empowering. Bring back the 1950's dancehalls, I say, and lets get everyone back into ballroom & latin dancing!

I have wondered whether there's a correlation between how much you'd drink on a night out of final-destination-dancefloor, and how uncomfortable you'd feel on the dancefloor without drink during this. P'raps we should start a revolution!
