Success

Success has to be measured in increments.
At my dance Saturday, a young couple came in, and he made it clear it was all her idea. He had been trying to play guitar for 4 months, he said, with no rhythm.
We coaxed him into counting to four in slow dancing. We allowed as how he probably wouldn't get Swing, so no pressure. Then I set up Merengue, and he actually seemed to be enjoying it in spite of himself.
I am surprised that there so few of this style practice party except by the chain studios.
