Scottsdale Dance Lesson Spicces Up Marriage

by Jim Blowganza

My wife and I have been married for just about 18 years and I suppose you can say we have pretty much settled into our way of life. It is pretty obvious you have fallen into a pattern if you are setting your watch (or calendar) by the meatloaf for Wednesday's dinner, the club's Sunday brunch and on Tuesday or Thursday night the children's sporting events. Ok, so you can say we were slouching and need to get out of this groove.

Since we live in Scottsdale where there are unlimited leisure activity opportunities, I made a number of different activity suggestions to my wife for us to engage in together. For example, I suggested taking golf lessons or music lessons. However, my wife really wanted for us to get out of our rut by taking dance lessons in Scottsdale.

The first time I heard about the dance lessons I could take in Scottsdale, I scoffed at the idea. After all, I tend to think of myself more as a Fred Flintstone than I do a Fred Astaire. On two feet, I'm a total klutz, so there was no way the thought of taking dancing lessons appealed to me.

I never imagined that I would take dance lessons. Do not get me wrong, I was an athlete in school, I can run, jump etc but dancing was not on my skill list. My right and left foot, well I knew what shoe went on what foot, let alone know how to waltz, rumba or salsa. However, I wanted to make my wife happy, so I decided to just take the plunge. /Dance Lessons Scottsdale it is/ I told her, and she has never been happier.

Although we were nervous about taking dance lessons together, it may have ended up being the best activity that we have ever done together. Since we are both over age 40, we worried that we might be expected to already know everything about dancing. However, our instructor was very patient and funny. He paired up the students and I was able to dance with my wife. He immediately showed us the basics and launched our enjoyment of this Scottsdale dance class.

After every lesson my wife and I go to eat or maybe watch a movie. We use what we have learned to go out on the town and normally go to dance events at the local studio. It's renewed our relationship and for a pretty good price we have gained a new hobby. So once the band begins to play at the country club I can now lead my beautiful wife to the dance floor having great confidence. This is because of a very easy Scottsdale dance class. Who'd have ever thought?

I made a number of different activity suggestions to my wife for us to engage in together. For example, I suggested taking golf lessons or music lessons.

I love it when we go to a dance at the country club and I can proudly dance my wife all around the floor. Who'd have ever thought that a Scottsdale dance lesson would lead us to this?
