My Dancing with the Stars Dance Lesson

By Mom Note: This Post May Contain Affiliate Links Which Means We Earn a Small Commision.

So this past week I did something completely out of my comfort zone… I danced.  Not only did I dance, I danced with a member of the Dancing with the Stars troupe who showed me a few moves and attempted to teach me a salsa dance.  It was all apart of the #GotGvol2Event that I was invited to by Disney.  I am not sure they knew what a horrible dancer I am when they asked me to come.

Group-Dancing-with-the-Stars

Here is a little background.  If you are a Dancing with the Stars fan, you know that there is a group of troupe dancers who perform on every episode in special dance performances and as back-up dancers with the celebrities. They will sometimes fill in when a professional gets injured. Troupe member Alan Bersten subbed in for dance pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy this season when he danced with actress Heather Morris while Maks was out with an injury.  I loved their Disney piece they performed last week.

The troupe members, Alan Bersten, Brittany Cherry, Britt Stewart, Hayley Erbert, Brandon Stewart, and Artur Adamski met with our group of bloggers to teach us how to do the Salsa.

They first taught us the basic steps of the Salsa together in a large group.  It was kinda fun to learn with all of my friends.  I got the steps down and started feeling a bit comfortable…

… until they added in arm movements.  Y’all I am not coordinated.  I was skipped over at birth when it came to the rhythm gene.  We practiced the steps a few more times and I started to calm down a bit.  After a few tries, I thought that what I was doing was at least passable for dancing. But then an announcement was made, they mentioned that we would be breaking up into small groups and performing for everyone! I think that was my worst nightmare.

Thank goodness for Brandon!

Brandon was the professional helping my group of bloggers to dance.  He was very patient and amazing, and guess what?  I didn’t fall down!  I actually made it through in one piece!  I also didn’t humiliate myself like in my nightmares.

I have a video to prove this. I’m the one on the far left.

Not too bad for a girl born without rhythm!
