    New Years Eve Dance

    We had a special celebration at our dance studio for New Years Eve and many of us dressed up, including me.


    I am here to testify that one can dance the tango and cha cha in a kilt, even if it is a bit cross-cultural. It is also good that I followed the advise of Scottish dancers and wore something under the kilt. Apparently, when one does the walk around in the cha cha, one can put on a bit of a show.

    One of the ladies I danced with did comment that she was jealous because my kilt swirled better than her skirt.

    I'm also a bit proud that this was the first time I had tied my own bow tie and I think it turned out pretty good.

    It did turn out very well indeed, you look great, sounds like a good time was had by all.

    Great! Good on you! I've so far shied away from wearing kilts when doing my latin dancing and teaching.
