.: Wedding Dance :.

I observed a Wedding Dance lesson for BCS this afternoon.

The lesson was what is refered to as the Slam-Bam-Thank You, Ma'am Lesson. Their ONLY lesson a week before the actual wedding. Alot of the lesson is just observing the couple and making sure the lessons/suggestions are remotely being learned. After a while I stopped watching their technique. I started watching them.

Here they were trying to learn and absorb something that was a bit foreign to the both of them. They made mistakes. They made so many mistakes. Still, they laughed through the lesson. They talked and tried to figure out the problems. When they couldn't figure it out, they refered to us for some guidance. Watching, I'd thought they'll make a lovely couple. They'll have a lovely marriage. I wonder if you can figure that out in one dance lesson. Gauge the success of a marriage like written in Blink.

I can't wait to start teaching some more couples. I couldn't help but grin with these two. Working with them was so enjoyable. I also know I'll come across more couples that are more difficult or argumentative. Bring it. That marriage might not be as successful but they are going to have a lovely wedding dance if I can help it.

Hey Tessa, I just got the link to your blog. I love the title--my own non-Asianness is a running joke.
