When our last child left for college, we wanted to find something to do as a couple, that would also be healthy.
We signed up for a 4 lessons for $5 Fred Astaire promotion. Much to my wifes surprise, we made it to the second lesson . After a few bad choices in places to dance, we went to a real ballroom dance in a real ballroom. Since than we have gone dancing once a week for almost 6 years.
We took lessons at FADS for over 5 years and now learned from videos. We have practised at least once a week, inaddition to going to one dance a week. We have to drive a minimum of 50 miles to dance, so we only go once a week and do a lot of dancing at each dance.
It has provided another excellent source of exercise for both of us. We enjoy the dancing and challenge of improving and learning new manuevers/steps.
Dance is flirtatous, romantic etc.., which has obviously benefited our relationship. it gives us time every week were we really are together and interacting with each other. As oppossed to being in the same place watching something, but not really interacting.
Favorite links are this site, dance forum and eBay. Ebay because I buy dancve videos there and sell ones we have completed.
