Dancing lesson, for the third time

The night before, I went to sleep at 3 a.m. So, after returning from the school, I immediately fell asleep. I set my alarm clock, but still I overslept it. Yet I had enough time. But then I wasn't able to put on my bow tie. Reportedly, in the past bow ties had to be tied, the mine is just to be put around the neck and tightened, but I was unable to do that. Father, who used to do it for me before, was not at home. So I was struggling with that and then just went to the dance school. My grandma fortunately tightened it and neatened it. And I was nearly late... Next time, I have to eat something before going as dancing is quite exhausting for me...
We learned New York for chacha, a saw-like step in foxtrot and a spin in blues. The New York seemed particularly difficult. By that time, I was the odd one standing at the corner of the room and so I was trying to pick it up by looking, but almost everyone was dancing it wrong way. Hm...sure, when it came to me then, I wasn't much better...
Scorpion came to have a look, as his sister goes there as well, but he's already going to advanced courses, so he lectured us a bit.
I was dancing with Lan, Zuzka and then two new ones - Misa and Yveta.
Misa attends Gymnazium Opatov. She was good at dancing, but she very much reminded me Misa Rem. from my class. Not by appearance, but rather by overall feeling... She asked me about the age and then told me I seemed younger than I was. Though, not something I wouldn't already know :-)
Then I danced with Yveta (Gymnazium Elisky Krasnohorske). She seemed very tired and when I asked her she told me she was probably a bit ill. Then it's no surprise she seemed a bit morose... Yet I felt good dancing with her. Anyway, I wish her a quick recovery.
It's fantastic how one can feel the other's mood when dancing. But not just mood, it seems it shows one's personality as well. I have to think about it more, but e.g. I didn't enjoy dancing with Misa much, though she was perhaps dancing the best of all people I've had danced so far with.
I have a lot of problems when changing from a dance to another. E.g. I tend to mistake jive for chacha, waltz for foxtrot... And that's been just five dances so far. When I attune to the rhythm, it's ok, but before, it's tragic.
In the first lesson, there were ten more boys than girls. Now, there already were just two more...And it was just the third lesson!
