Here's what I like to do in my free time:
dancing. It was five years ago that I had my
ballroom class. When I started out, I learnt a lot of different dances in a group class. Later I started taking
[?] classes to improve my
[?] and get ready for a
[?] . This video was taken at my second competition. In this clip I am dancing the waltz, Viennese waltz and the foxtrot with my dance
[?] .
There are
[?] ballroom dances: foxtrot, waltz, Viennese waltz, tango and quickstep. You have two
[?] when it comes to dancing these dances: International Standard and American Smooth. International Standard is more about technique, and American Smooth is more about showmanship. The Latin dances include samba, rumba, cha-cha, jive, bolero and paso doble. I like all of these dances, but the Viennese waltz and the jive are my
[?] .
Unfortunately there are not many
who do ballroom dancing, but in order to compete you need a partner. In America they have a lot of pro-am competitions where
[?] students dance with their instructors, so I didn't need to worry about finding a dance partner. In the UK, however, they don't do this kind of competition, so I need to find an
[?] partner if I want to get on the dance floor. No
[?] so far!
