A First

Nino Ferrer sings one of my favorite songs, Les Cornichons. It's kooky and insanely danceable, but not as kooky as this video for Oh! He! Hein! Bon!, which seems to have a loose plot revolving around putting a parade float together. Yeah, that's right. Embrace it!

Happy Feet!

Something magical must have been in the air last night, because Peter agreed to take dance lessons with me at 200 Grand next month!

This is kind of scary for both of us. I'm a terrible dancer. It is not one of my many, many, many natural skills. My friend once convinced me to join her at an intermediate level salsa lesson, and I still cringe when I think about it. (Yes, I made it out of the room before I started crying.) Pure torture!

I need about double the amount of practice time to catch up with the average person. And that's frustrating because I like to excel at everything immediately without having to work at it. Doesn't everyone? :)

But I've always wanted to know some traditional dances, as well as some zippy swing moves. And now I have someone to practice with. This video of the foxtrot doesn't look too hard...

Solid Potato Salad

As an enemy of mayonnaise, I hate potato salad, but I love this video sent to me by a dear, dear reader! Keep watching for some insane acrobatics. I can't even walk and sing at the same time. My recent experimentation with online exercise videos is proving that I'm not so good at moving my arms and my legs at the same time, either.
