Charlie and I like to think we can dance although neither of us can. Unless you count the BOOTY SHAKING we do as a dance… As for David he says that isn’t dancing and neither is the moves Charlie learns from his friends. With us Homeschooling Charlie I found a website where we can learn Ballroom Dancing that I am going to try and get Charlie to visit with me.
Just don’t hold your breath because I don’t think Charlie will take Ballroom Dancing with me. If not I may ask David if he would like to learn these dances as he says he likes to dance although I haven’t ever seen him dance. Because I don’t know how to dance and never wanted to learn. Although as we get older dancing would give us something to do together.
Dancing would allow me to exercise in a new way and work off this weight I need to lose. We wouldn’t need to be outside in the Cold Air although if we wanted to get out of the house for a bit we could find a club to go practice our dance moves at. Although we couldn’t take Charlie with us so that might not be a good idea.
