So...... which one is Jack? I'm a redhead, too, so you know who I pick!
Some years back I found an LGBTQ group that was teaching dance classes. I already was a good lead, but I thought it would be fun to learn to follow. I bought some medium-heeled dance shoes and took the class. I got reasonably good and I might add, that experience made me a much better lead! I started wearing a skirt about 1/3 of the way through the lessons -- I have this really full-skirted one that really looked and felt great -- to the class and got fully dressed for our "big dance" at the end. Part way through the second class, about 6 months later, my foot was starting to deteriorate and after considerable surgeries over a couple of years (there are 19 pieces of metal in my foot!) I couldn't even wear heels. But being able to dance -- then either lead or follow --, while a sadly short stint, was such a huge treat for me. I can't tell you how much fun it was to be lead into a big swing and have my big full skirt swirl out and around my legs!

Love that Balmain dress!
