You're a divine dancer, Lois, which goes to prove an axiomatic law of the
universe: unsolicited chatty "teachers" are crappy, clueless dufus'...
.
On a side note, I think Astrid is really intelligent & articulate, funny 2.
I would imagine sunglasses would get in the way, if you're dancing with
your partner's head gently next to yours.
.
I still like seeing the 2 people chatting on a cell-phone, while dancing
close-embrace, having separate conversation, yikes!
