Trip to Raleigh

I'm sitting at Cleveland Hopkins airport, just messing around while I wait for my boarding call. I haven't flown in several years, so this is going to be fun. It's also a small plane, so I'm hoping for turbulence. I found what must be the only outlet on the concourse, got on the wifi network, and I'm just click, click, clicking away. I'm a bit nervous about dancing at this place, because the skill level is high, while mine is low. I am looking forward to the classes though.

Last night, I started learning Blues dancing. It's a lot of fun, with a similar close connection to Balboa, which is one of the reasons I like Bal. With Blues, though, it's so slow, it takes a lot of concentration to try to follow the music. The main idea of Blues dancing is to interpret the music with body movements. More attention is required than with Jitterbug, which I use more structured moves for.
