I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

List of Last Week’s Labors of Love

– discovery that I can't say "please" as one syllable into a microphone.  I'm like Jenna from 30 Rock saying "camer-ah".

– French macarons from Sweets Bakeshop.  So pretty.  So delicious.  

 

Salted

– a visit to "the only good thing in Wisconsin".  [Not my quote.  Don't send me hate mail…  But I agree.]

Beer.  Food.  Great service.  Try out the Red Eye Brewing Company if you're in Wausau.

– judging and a show in said town.  Dancing.  More dancing.  Good people.  Try out Get Out and Dance if you're in Wausau.

– the MN Zoo!  We just visited the Bee Hive (didn't even check out the "farm animals" this time), a little playground for 1-3 years old, and those ladies had fun.  

– oh my gosh, the YODEL!  But I'll talk about that Wednesday.  

– a meeting with a fantastic dressmaker to plan my next rhythm costume.  It's going to be fantastic.  I might have to have her guest-post again and we'll talk about both sides of the custom-made ballroom gown business.  [Hint, hint.]

– why is the word "rhythm" so hard to spell?

Happy Monday, people.

    My 8th grade English teacher had us memorize this story about a couple. I don’t remember the story, but I remember it had something to do with the RH factor. The end of the story had the woman of the couple saying “RH – why me?” and an observer saying “RH – why them?” To this day, I say those phrases from the story when spelling rhyme and rhythm. 🙂 Whatever it takes, right?
