Mambo Cha Cha

Saturday, I decided to go to the library and check out some excercise DVDs. I wanted to have something on hand for those days when I just can't make it to the Y, like today, due to Emily's 101.6 temperature. I was so proud of myself as I popped the DVD in all set to excercise. I was about 2 minutes into the DVD when I realized it wasn't going to be so great. I forgot to take into account the fact that I have NO coordination and NO rhythm and you just can't do the Mambo Cha Cha without coordination and rhythm. Every time I would think I was close to mastering a step, the instructor would say, "All right, let's take it up to tempo now!" Needless to say, taking it up to tempo was out of the question. I was always about three steps behind. All I could think was, I have some friends who would pay money to see this. I had been thinking about taking Lauren to a Mommy and Me Ballet class, but now I know I should abandon that idea. I've done the video a few times since Saturday, and I've made progress, but I have no plans to make a dance debut in public. Maybe, though, this has brought a smile to your face as you imagine me attempting the Mambo Cha Cha.
