SWMBO has been watching strictly and constantly saying she wished she could have dancing lessons, which I've vehemently said over my dead body.

Imagine her face when a voucher for 5 introductory lessons was wrapped inside her Altura cycling jacket!

In terms of the pleasure of a gift well received, two dresses that not only fit Mrs B but look great.

Dunno how other guys feel, but buying clothes for wives / girlfriends is always a bit of a 'fingers crossed' activity and I was thrilled to bits that she liked them both and has already worn both when we've gone out places.


mega brownie points in your vault then....don't forget to redeem them :smile:

Not hidden in a cycling jacket, but I did that same thing as a Christmas present 3 or 4 years ago! We both went along in January and had a course of 10 lessons over as many weeks which was enough to get a smattering of waltz, foxtrot, quickstep and rumba. The most daunting thing as a beginner - which I hadn't realised - is that in the first few lessons we had to rotate partners every couple of minutes. (Fortunately, as the majority of people attending had gone as couples, there was at least a reasonably equal male-female balance). I'm not sure why this was the approach; maybe it was to emphasise the 'social' aspect, or perhaps it was to get you used to dancing with people of different heights, natural ability etc. By about lesson 6 when we had at least something to practice, we all reverted to staying with our own partners throughout the lessons.

It was a bit strange at first but fun as the weeks went on. We haven't really used the skills since apart from one dance we went to where there was a super orchestra and demonstrations of various dance styles, but what we were taught did sink in.
