Marilee’s Travels

my private lesson was at 930am and i woke up at 923am. i am happy that everything is late here including my instructor. i rolled out of bed and into the kitchen for some coffee from marie. then my lesson. it was wonderful. with neither of us speaking each others language we had quit a time talking but we managed just fine. it was really a lesson in posture, balance, attitude… and honestly after tonights drama at a milonga i am happy to pay if i can dance with someone who does not push me into other people on the dance floor. i am not a good dancer but i so happy to find that i was far from the worst. after a quick bite to eat and a shower i went with one of the other women here to the other studio downtown for another private lesson. another great lesson but it was pretty humorus. my instructor can fit under my chin and if i did any weight lifting… i could bench press him. he was a great instructor, very professional and a very good dancer and did not bat an eye as i towered over him like a giant, sweating like i had just run a maraton. then it was back to the house for some putzing around, a short walk and more food consumption. after another shower i went with almost the whole house to a practica. it was good but like i said, the men i danced with after were quite horrible. not all was lost, it was my first milonga in buenos aires, the atmosphere was great, the company good and i got to dance!! that is really all i could ask for. (and sore feet.) tomorrow is another day and another lesson.
