Medal Class 2

The teacher still can't count latin, despite her helper trying to get her on the correct count. The fact that when they started dem-ing it she was counting 1 on her back step failed to make her realise her error, and after the little battle between her and helper, she told the class that it was definitely correct and that someone else had checked it a couple of weeks ago.

IT'S NOT!!!!!! The helper is right. At least I'm not alone. If this continues, I might have to send an anonymous tip to the IDTA...

The ballroom class is going well, however. It's a really small class, and we're all pretty good. She said if we get it right in time, we can take bronze and silver together. I didn't know you could do that. Presumably if you failed bronze, you'd automatically fail silver. But the chances of anyone failing are pretty slim.

She did comment that she thought I was a 'natural dancer'. Bless her. I'm not sure I am a natural dancer, but almost 24 years of working at dancing have made very basic steps easy to pick up. And I have an ability to correct technical errors if they are flagged to me.

I think the medal class is doing me good. It's not as much fun as the social class, but I feel like I am really learning something.
