I'm only a beginner...& I'm ok w/ that...

Lora & I had another line dancin' class last night. Our buddy, Nancy, thought we were ready for the big time & should stay for the intermediate class. I won't speak for Lora, but while I appreciate Nancy's faith in me, I was not ready for that kind of responsibility!

I was confused, dizzy (from all the turns...lots & lots of turns!) & frustrated w/ myself most of the time! I had to laugh so I didn't cry! I just could NOT get the new steps (remember, I'm used to heel & heel & step together, step together) & then the steps I COULD get, there were SO many to put together that I couldn't remember what came next! And obviously she moved @ a much accelerated rate because this WAS the intermediate class & it was just too fast for me.

I will say I worked up quite a sweat so it was good exercise. I am extremely tired this morning & my legs hurt. Nancy tried to make me feel better this morning (she's so sweet that way. She would never tell me I sucked!) & said that part of the problem was that I don't know the advanced steps & I was trying to learn the steps PLUS how to put them together. And she said that the other older ladies in the class were impressed by how good we were doing. I told her they must not have been watching me! (but again, I'm sure they're sweet older ladies, they would never say how horrid it was!)

Needless to say, the intermediate class will be missing at least one McAfee chick next week. I think I'll stick to my beginners class. But Lora, if you feel froggy & want to try again...I'll stay & watch...from a safe distance across the room! :-)
