Yesterday, I had my first practice at the Johnson City Country Club. It's where the Dancing With The Tri Cities Stars contest will be held. We usually practice at Adler dance studio, however, dance instructors Mike and Kim Adler wanted each of the contestants to experience the country clubs dance floor. They told me it was much slower compared to the one in their studio. Say what? Some dance floors are fast and some slow - I had never heard anything like this before. I kinda of laughed it off, thinking well they're pros they can easily recognize any dissimilarity, but for someone like me who's an amateur there's no way I would notice. But, boy did I learn real quick what they said is very true. There is a huge difference. At the Adler dance studio it's so easy to move, it's like you can almost glide. At the country club, when it was time for me to spin, I could barely do it. Thank goodness for Mike and Kim's expertise, being the pros they are, they knew we would have some difficulty moving on the slower dance floor - so get this they bring dance wax to rub on the bottom of your shoes to help speed you up. It was amazing - and it really worked.
The competition is Saturday, May 22. For ticket info, call 423-257-7500.
