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

– started a new running program.  This is great news for my stamina, and heart, and lungs, and muscle tone, but NOT FOR MY FACE.

Because who DOESN'T start running when it's NEGATIVE TWO DEGREES OUTSIDE?  

 

 

I DON'T KNOW!!!

 

 

– Mill City Ballroom is running, also…  More often and better then I am, by the way.  Every week, I'm surprised by the amount of people who show up to our stuff.  I was pretty sure last week's group class was going to be a total bust; the combination of Viennese Waltz and Bolero usually makes people more ill than motivated.  And then 25 people showed up.  And they knew it was Viennese Waltz and Bolero.  Sadists.  

So, I'm, like, working.

– having a cold.  Actually, I'm just coughing a lot.  And that's fun.  

A) the rattle-y noise that accompanies my breathing is novel.

B) I'm getting a great ab workout.  

What are you all up to?  Avoiding the wind chill?  Warming your tootsies by a fire?

    I have a fire! However, it was whelmed o’er last week and smoked me out of my house so now I light a fire in it and run…but my toes are warm from the running.
