And dancing again!

Seems as if I've been dancing recently more than anything else. Not true, though I may not even object, was it true. Just busy...in the pleasant way :-)
We learned waltz-like spins both in foxtrot and in tango. Then there was a new figure in salsa and also some weird movement with the hand in salsa - intended to eventually change the hand you were holding, but...I still don't really get it.
I danced with Lan, but today, there was quite a lot of changing. So I danced also with (yet another) Tereza. She goes to Gymnazium Omska. We danced a lot of foxtrot together, it left me in rather bad feeling, but we tried ;-) Then I also danced with Marcela (now, that's a name to remember :-) I know her by sight, as she's been attending the course very regularly. Also, she lives somewhere near to where I do, so we sometimes return by the same bus. She goes to some chemistry secondary school. But she was really good at dancing.
I'm more and more inclined to believe our dance course has divided into more or less two groups. Yes - the better ones - going to the course regularly and often practicing outside of the course as well. And then there are those, who attend the course seldom, some of them have already ceased to, and they just can't hold the pace, considering how quickly we've been going through various figures (at least it seems to me this way and I think that after missing e.g. just two lessons in row it's very hard to catch up.
Foxtrot goes against what I expect from a dance. Or, said otherwise, I can't dance foxtrot ;-) Dunno, it may be just too little jumpy for me - on the other hand it's true I jump just excessively even when dancing other dances...Not good.
But we danced also tango, with the same waltz spin as before in foxtrot and that, that was terrific :-) Just incredible, how only a small change in the rhythm (as we hadn't learned anything different from foxtrot yet) can change the "meaning" - at least, for me.
Tired legs - father remarked I'd been dancing quite a lot recently. Oh, probably yes. I really feel it today...But it was fun :-)
