I know what you mean about not appropriate – and that makes it harder. I would not be embarrassed – usually at a beginners class, everyone is a novice and has no clue, and a lot have two left feet – but it does not take long and you will be walzing and quickstepping with the best of them. It is great for togetherness and for fitness – unfortunately my hubby is not into dance at all – so I am out of luck with that – but you are fortunate to have a willing man – I would say go for it. If there is one thing I miss in my marriage it is dancing – I have always loved to dance and in Europe learning to walz is something that is expected – so my mum made sure I knew how. Show your children you can get out of your comfort zone and try something new – that would be good for them too, and once you start, I bet you will wonder what you worried about. Linda
