Now this was cool !!!

A friend of mine (some of you know Rose) talked me into going to a western bar to line dance and country dance!  Needless to say, growing up in the city, I have never boot scooted in my life.  Well, we went last night and I had an absolute blast !!!  Talk about working up a sweat !!  The first guy that asked me to dance used to teach country dancing so he was great and patient pushing me around the floor.  Then when the ladies found out I didn't know any of the line dances they would pull me to the floor and patiently tell me exactly what to do.  Now, I confess, I was no Ginger Rogers, but it was the most fun I've had doing exercising in a long time !!!  From 9 to 2 I don't think I sat for 10 minutes !!  The guy told me there is a place that gives free lessons on Wednesday evenings from 8 to 10:00.  You need a partner, but , if anyone is interested, PM me and I'll give you the details.  Watch out world, I might even invest in a pair of boots !!

That was the main thing I did for 12 years, but I got too involved in the bar scene and all the drama and BS too.  I miss dancing though cause yes it is awesome exercise and a lot of fun.  Gald you had a good time.

Well, this time, since you're not supposed to drink beer, go, stay sober and dance will all the girls !!!  You're on the prowl again.  Siccum!

That is awesome!!  I'm glad you had a great time while exercising!  NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!  If we could all find varied ways we love to exercise we can trick ourselves into doing it more and more!!!  When I was single, our church had singles volleyball.  Sounds weird but I loved it.  I didn't care that I would sweat in front of everyone because it was fun.  I might have to look into a volleyball program...I'm not the best by anymeans so it can't be an ultra competitive level.  lol  I'm only 5' 4" too! I love swimming and the water....wish I could talk the DH into a pool.  Our yard is really not big enough for one.  I guess I could join the Y...it probably cost similar to buying and maintaining your own pool. hmmmm

HOW FUN!!!! I love dancing, I did lessons quite a few years ago.  Would love to do it again.  Glad you had an awesome time!!!

Did you squeeze his buns?  hehehehe....  I know that dancing is a ton of fun.....too bad I have zero timing....  Too bad I don't live inOKC, I need the lessons!

I'm so jealous!  I haven't done the country / western bar thing since my sorority days; being twirled by some handsome stranger was so much fun! 

You know what else is great?  This past year, I've learned the tango, waltz and foxtrot.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE to Tango.  Can't wait until I'm super skinny and can get one of those tango dresses with the slit in the leg up to there! 

Thanks for sharing!  I'm glad you had so much fun - I'm inspired now!

Yee-haw!!  You go girl!  Could you have ever imagined a year ago you would be doing this?!  How amazing!

LMAO....that's how I met DH! Well, I met a friend of his at Tumbleweeds in Stillwater, and we scheduled a date the following weekend to go to the Cimarron Country Ballroom...and DH came along for the ride because it was a birthday party for a friend of theirs....anyway, I started the night with Gary and ended up with Johnny..25 years later..we're still together!

But I digress. It IS great exercise and fantastic fun! We still go occasionally to little dances back home.

There's a place on south Meridian toward the airport..can't remember what it's called...we went to see the Guess Who there several years ago and boot scooted while waiting. I LOVE to do the Swing and 4 corners..

Get some boots, girl!
