The only dance I've ever been to was a Civil War dance earlier this summer (I blogged about it in late May or early June) and it was very fun. It's nice that they taught y'all the dances prior to each dance...

I understand what you mean by getting red faced almost immediately. It's not like I don't have any endurance, I just get red in the face easily, and it's annoying.
