Today I refined my Waltz, Two Step, Fox Trot, Charleston, and regular ol' Swing dancing technique.
Mikayla and I went to this 'Tea Dance'. When we first got there, we both secretly thought, 'oh. great. what did we get ourselves into? this is NOT going to be fun'. It was full of 80 year ol' grannies, and not very many men to dance with. Turns out, it was a BLAST!!
We got tea, cakes, and cucumber sandwiches.
There were mini lessons, and also a few demonstrations.
Champagne Charlie, Dorthy Shoes, Miss Anna, and Tom were SOOO cool. Charlie and Tom were these VERRRYYYY good looking men, who were PAID to dance all day! Let me tell ya... GOOD LOOKING... And of course, the fact that they can dance makes them even more handsome! What a great gig that would be - to dance and get paid for it!! First they were wearing a tux... the ones with the tails. And eventually changed into navy blue pinstripe suits, with red ties. Charlie had red suspenders. It was sooo cool. LOVED dancing with them...!!
It was set in this portable building sort of thing. Round, sorta like a circus tent. There were real wood floors, stain glass windows, and booths to sit at.
This dancing thing was a part of the Norfolk & Norwich Festival...
Mikayla and I got out pictures taken for the EDP Newspaper... and I got pictures taken dancing Fox Trot with Tom... we also got to talk on the BBC Norwich Radio...!!
I got a card with the website to the newspaper so hopefully I have some awesome pictures on there!!
SOOOO MUCH FUN!! <3
If you don't dance... you def should. You don't know what you're missing.

Does anyone know what a 'quaver' is?? I surley don't. Yesterday in choir we began working on our piece, Te Deum, by Dvorak, and the director kept saying that we would start after the quaver. Apparently a quaver is a value of an eigth. I felt so dumb when I had to ask the girl next to me what the heck he was talking about!! She was probably thinking something along the lines to, "Dumb American". It's okay. She's going to be my bff choir buddy. She just doesn't know it yet :)
A few days ago, I again had the famous English dish of Fish & Chips. It was quite lovely. :)
I had this dish at some random place at some random stop off the tube in the first few days that I got to the UK. Which do you think looks better? The bottom picture or the top??
