Elizabeth and I both had a wonderful time dancing with Wade. He was very accommodating. The 3 half-hour lessons were for Quickstep but Wade graciously danced quite a few different dances with Elizabeth and me, correcting us whenever needed.
My best dance of the night was Tango where Wade focused on dancing several variations of the Tango fan. I almost felt like I was showcasing a solo routine as Wade and I were the only ones on the dance floor !!!

Quickstep - Margaret Hicks with Wade Branham Margaret dancing the V6 and Double Reverse Spins with Wade in her 30-minute private lesson with Wade. I had learned the Double Reverse Spin back in 2015 from well-known local professional dance instructor, Lance Sexton but had never had the chance to dance it since then. I was thrilled to finally have the opportunity to try dancing the step again. Wade did a great job of refreshing my memories of how to dance it correctly.

Samba - Elizabeth Hill with Wade Branham Elizabeth dancing her bonus dance with Wade at the end of the night before we called it quits. Looks like she was really enjoying herself !!! Samba is a dance I really need to improve my skills on and I decided after watching Elizabeth and Wade, to do just that at my next private lesson. I would love to learn how to dance a really neat routine. Quickstep - Gerard Fahey with Elizabeth Hill Gerard dancing with his partner, Elizabeth, the routine taught by Wade during his lesson. |
