Sparky and Buckwheat Learn to Dance

January 20th, 2007 by Mark Flanders

Salsa dancersRecently, Sparky and I decided we should show our ladies a good time. After much conversation and thought we settled on ballroom dancing to show our spouses (or is it spices) what classy, athletic, graceful and attentive men they had married.

The one small problem with our plan was neither one of us will ever be mistaken for Riverdancers. So, after further debate and discussion we agreed dance lessons would solve all of our problems and how hard can it be anyway?

The first lesson was cancelled because of weather. But Thursday we finally had a chance to show our stuff to our partners. I learned several things at our first class.

  • It is not wise to tell your wife “It feels like I’m driving an anchor”.
  • It is possible for someone to step on their own foot while doing the box step.
  • It’s hard to converse while muttering “1 and 2 and 3 and 4″.
  • In a county this small, someone is going to recognize you.
  • The instructors don’t do this for the money, they do it for the laughs
  • Being graceful is over-rated

Other than an ego bruising, it was fun. We decided to go back next week. We’ll let you know if we are still married after the six weeks are over. And, we’ll let you know when we will appear on Dancing With the Stars!
