I'm in the Mood...For Dancing - What Else?

la la la laa-aaa, la la laa

how tuneful!

Just got back from the mammoth round trip that is going to Preston (13 minute train journey, but you have to wait 40 minutes for it!)...cos i went to see...Simply Ballroom!! This was a ballroom and latin stage spectacular choerographed by Anton du Beke and Erin Boag (professionals on Strictly Come Dancing) It was awesome! I've never seen so many pairs of legs move so quickly at the same time! That Cha Cha was faster than even Riverdance, trust me! And the sparkly dresses..you should've seen 'em sparkle!

Anyhoos, I'm v happy cos i've got some of my own lovely dresses. When taking much-needed breaks from dissertating i've been thinking about what to wear in the upcoming competitions. Sorted now! Not sparkly, but then sparkles always draw much attention and i'm not sure my dancing deserves it! For latin i recently acquired a black-with-little-white-polka-dots mini skirt (in the kind of jersey fabric that spins out and flaps about when you dance) which exactly matches a top i already have so i'm gonna sew them together (otherwise you get that icky bare lovehandles look as your top rides up). And since i had time in my mammothly long trip to Preston today i popped into TKMaxx and found a really lovely dress for a mere 25 squids so i nabbed it quick! It's a sort of pale beige/nude colour - a little unconventional but i'm bored of black and my dance shoes go with it nicely - they look like they're meant to be that dark! Just have to test it out with Greg to see if his leg can go between mine - had that problem with a different skirt i tried, there wasn't enough fabric.

That's enough about dresses. Let's hope the dancing impresses as much!
