Dancing at the Derby


Last night CE and I went to the Derby in Hollywood for their Sunday night lesson/dance party! We've got a wedding coming up in a couple of weeks and then the cruise at the end of May so I thought we should brush up on our dancing - and what a great time we had! We had considered taking lessons at a regular 'Arthur Murray' type place but I'm so glad that we tried the Derby first. We learned so much in 2 hours! They teach East Coast Swing but on the last Sunday of the month you spend the first hour learning something else; last night was Latin! I feel so much more confident now and we're going to try to make it back there a time or two before our trip. The $10 cover charge is a great deal. There is a safe parking lot behind the club which only charges $5 for parking. I always think about the parking situation before venturing out to Hollywood at night. The other dancers were friendly and helpful and there were singles as well as couples. I would feel completely comfortable going there alone; there were no 'creepy singles bar' types at all. What a fun night.
