I come from a place where people are very enthusiastic about dancing. There is a time in a year when almost everyone will go out dancing for straight nine days and will stay up until 4 am doing that without skipping work or school the next day.

Along with that to keep my dance exploration going on I got enrolled in country dance class which I think is a great start for me to learn about American dance
