Dance Class-Polka
I am currently taking Dance Fundamentals at Slippery Rock University. I am anxious to go to class tomorrow because we are learning the polka. I really enjoy this dance. The steps are easy to handle and you have freedom as to where you would like to move throughout the dance floor. The dance is started by the man asking a woman if "he may have this dance". The woman responds "yes you may," and the dance begins. It begins formally but the polka is the first dance in history that allows man and woman to be so close to each other during dance. The man places his hand on the ladies' shoulder blade and the woman rests her hand on top of the man's shoulder. I hope that we continue to do this dance for at least the week because it's been my favorite part of the class so far.

I am also enjoying the Polka in class! I wish we would have learned more of these types of dances, even though everything we have done so far has been fun. I am excited for swing on Friday. I have always wanted to learn how to swing dance and do some crazy moves! :) What I think I love most about dance class is the atmosphere TC creates in the studio. I thought I would hate the class because I'm not a good dancer and would be embarrassed, but with TC I'm not nervous at all and enjoy it every day.
