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.
