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.

The First YODEL- A Review

We had our first YODEL last week (Yarn Over, Drink, Eat… Legit) and I must tell you about it.

I'm not going to make it sound bigger than Lilith Fair in 1997 because it wasn't.  Nothing is, or ever could be, as big as Lilith Fair in 1997, people.  

We (six or so) gathered at the delightful Claddagh Coffee in St. Paul, MN and ate food, drank beverages, knit/crocheted/did homework, and chatted.  

But it was GOOD TIMES!

A) It was all adult ladies

B) with a common interest 

C) eating and drinking

I highly recommend coming to the next one.  

It was cool to see a new technique being tried…

we did NOT look like these goons

Next up, I'm checking out spots with LIQUOR.  Yes, the cure for any social awkwardness (not that I or anyone else I know has that) will be involved.  How's March sound, m'ladies?

I'll keep you posted.
