Let me tell you that my strong dance partner, Michele, will come
from France and will be at the U. of I. for five months. She is expected
to do physics research at the Loomis Lab on the weekdays as a visiting
professor. You may have seen us dance at the Regent last year.
Sadly, once Michele arrives don't expect to see us dance immediately. Two
weeks before her trip, living in her house in Mulhouse, France,
Michele had cut her finger in a knife accident while she tried make a
sandwich. We planned to dance in the Swing and Salsa Semi-Formal this
coming Feb. 8. But her injury means we may not go there after all. She
says it will take two weeks for her finger to be better. If her hand
heals ahead of schedule, expect us dancing in the lindy circle in the
semi-formal, if there is a lindy circle at all.
We also plan to go to the Chicago Salsa Congress and salsa our nights away
this Valentine's Day weekend. We plan to go to more of the salsa dances
their than classes or workshops. I also intend to get my favorite salsa
cassettes and CDs there.
Finally, we will go to the Catskills on March 7-10; we call this "a spring
break--ballroom dance style". We will go to this famous resort in
Monticello, New York (the site where "Dirty Dancing" was shot) to enjoy a
non-competitive, fun week of Latin, Ballroom, and Swing dancing.
P.S.:
When we dance Argentine tango, we dance it quite differently. One thing
you will see is that I will lean my head in such a way that it actually
touches over Michele's left shoulder. Quite passionate for this type of
tango, isn't it?
