(Not to be lazy, but the Metro will be shutting down soon, and I need to get going home!! So, I'm copying my Facebook status, for the moment, to answer the all-important, "How did it go?!?!" question, in relation to my first ballroom lesson!!!!
A more detailed version, plus an update on the second lesson will follow tomorrow.
Much love!

"Well, I'm crap. XD (But not dancing any ballroom, or being in heels for 3 moths will help that along..)
I'm too slow, my hips don't move the right way, my steps are too big (but I don't move enough :P ), I'm not in-line in the right fashion, and I'm jumpy.
Essentially -- everything I know is wrong. (Did you know, your feet should be turned way out when you go backwards? XD <-- One example)
Having lessons take place in Russian = eye-opening.
Luckily, my teacher is fantastic, and with a combination of my understanding in the first plce, certain keywords (in English), Related-Roots (in Russian), and an overall sense of humour from both of us, the lesson went *very* well.
Kicked my own butt in practice for about an hour and a half after that.
Braved talking to one of the *über* amazing Latin girls before we left for the night -- she was really nice. =^__^= '' Hopefully I'll start getting to know everyone soon enough."
