Hi Robin,
It's nice to know that I'm not alone. I've been dancing for about 4 months now, and I've taken a few private lessons but mostly group lessons. I attend social dancing once a week, and I've been recently going to this club that hosts a ballroom night. I finally met some other girls who go to this club, so we go together (and I don't have to go bymyself, that would be weird). I'm looking for a partner right now so I can take more lessons and share the costs of private lessons, and hopefully be able to compete eventually. I think I'm getting a lot better with the dancing with other guys thing. They all know I'm married, so I feel that makes things a little easier.
Thanks for the advice!
Sasha
