Learning to Dance

I went to England with my mother.

She used to be a singer in a band.

We went to the hotel that she used to sing at.

It was a big fancy hotel.

Some of the people she knew when she sang in the band were still there.

They remembered my mother，and they had a good time talking to her and remembering old times.

Many people told me that I looked like my mother.

In the hotel，they had a fancy hall where they had ballroom dancing.

I am not used to that kind of dancing.

I always dance to rock music.

A man told me that he would teach me how to dance.

It looked very easy.

I held one of his hands，and put my other hand on his shoulder.

He told me exactly how move my feet.

I was very clumsy，and I stepped on his toes.

He was patient with me，and he counted“one，two，three”.

I tried to waltz with him.

I would start out pretty well，and then I would get mixed up them and stand on his toes again.

The man laughed about it.

I told him that I wasn't a very good dancer，but he said that I was good for a beginner.

I think he was just being polite.

The man asked my mother to dance.

My mother is a very good dancer.

I didn't know that about her.

She never stepped on the man's toes once.

The man thanked us for dancing with him，and I thanked him for giving me dancing lessons.

I don't think I'll ever be very good at that type of dancing.

Each generation has a specific type of dancing.

The way that I dance is different from the way that my mother dances.

The way my dance doesn't involve moving your feet too much.

I'm not too good at fancy steps.
