Dancing

My siblings and I have been English Country dancing three times in the past few weeks with a small group of friends. The first occasion was because some friend's had friends visiting, the second we had a friend visiting and then the third was for a birthday yesterday.


I have very high aspirations for our little dance group and I know my sibling share my goals. We want to be extremely elegant and dance them correctly in time with the music. But, somehow we aren't getting there. I think not having music for all of the dances and then practicing on grass doesn't help very much. We get too energetic and skip through the dances. While it's more invigorating, it doesn't work very well for a ballroom!


And, I feel bad being a girl and leading the dancing with my two younger sisters. It just seems wrong, but there aren't any guys that are enough into it that they could lead it! And then, there are guys that just flat refuse to dance at all!
