You don’t need to be a dancer to understand the ups and downs of my wild and crazy experiences — from nudists in dance class to a teacher’s extraordinary eyesight!

This collection of stories has its roots in many years of dance experiences— from starting as a beginner to eventually teaching and competing. Anything we do in life has its good, bad, sad, embarrassing, and memorable moments and leaves us with stories to tell. Hope you enjoy these:

Which ones are the nudists?
This was too funny. It was a case of giving us more information than we needed to know, creating a situation we were too uncomfortable to be in.

Counting on the wrong person
Wanting a performance to go smoothly, I put too much pressure on one of the team members to keep the routine going without realizing he had never performed in public.
