24. Learn a ballroom dance (waltz or tango)

Christmas 2015 I received a great gift from my parents. My Mum scoured my 40 list for ideas and came across number 24. I got a voucher for dance classes with Dance2Gether and Mathijs could join in too.

We had our first lesson in Watford at Moonglow Studios with Samantha and I decided I wanted to learn to Waltz.


My face at the end of this video says it all I guess! So we're not as slick as those on Strictly Come Dancing but we made a damn good effort.

Our following lessons we did some more waltz and also tried some jive, which, to be honest, Mathijs couldn't quite grasp. I think he's better with the slower dances!

We did want to keep the lessons going but unfortunately life got in the way. Perhaps the fact that I'm posting this blog, finally, it might entice us to restart them.
