			Checked the polka and waltz... also I have to add 1-2-3-chacha 1-2-3-chacha... oh and the rumba (slow-quick-quick-slow-quick-quick...) 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	But don't expect any fancy moves from me, got rather limited dancing skills!

			Mine was the jitterbug/swing, because my parents were champs - seriously, they won several contests on the different military bases where we were stationed, and they could pull off all the tricks, including my dad swinging my tiny mom around his waist, over his head, down between his legs, tossing her through the air, et.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	LOVED it. But where I really learned to dance was 1971, when I was in 8th grade and I'd lock myself in my room on Saturday to first watch American Bandstand but then watch the REAL dancing on this brand new show that played right after it called Soul Train... I lived for that show, and worked hard to try and match their moves step by step, hip thrust by hip thrust, shimmy by shimmy...

			I can waltz and do the Gay Gordons ...tha's about it. I love dancing though and regularly used to be found dancing like no-one was watching on a stage podium at my local gay club, back in the day. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Have attended salsa classes too but I struggle if the instructors are facing me. Everything's the wrong way round and my brain won't do the spatial conversion ![]() Have also learned to shimmy like my drag queen sistahs

			– the bop (it was an easier version of the jitterbug) – the 2-step social – the 3-step social – the waltz – the hully gully – the electric slide – the mashed potatoes – the hitch-hiker – and a few others These days I can do – the 2-step social – the 3-step social – the hitch-hiker – senior line dancing My goal is to be able to do – the bop – the hully gully – the electric slide Think I'll join a dance class for mature women.

			I was a club member untill it closed down 19 yrs. Never missed a Saturday night. Loved the line dancing, waltzing but mostly the two step, love it. I could do most fast dances with the best of em. I miss it but the owners partner passed away and she could not handle it. Really nice butch. Oh well, life goes on.
