Secret Life of a Cruise Consultant – Dancing Queen……………

We are now five or six lessons in to our Salsa classes and our progress has been amazing, even if I do say so myself! We are doing the Mambo like old pro’s, and our ‘Hip Hop Suzie Q’ has to be seen to be believed!
The Mambo Cuban Turn we learnt on Tuesday almost foxed us, but we got there in the end.
Ok, so I still can’t guarantee where I’m going to end up at the end of a full turn and on whose toe I’ll be standing but we are all in the same boat so everyone takes it in good spirit.
This new hobby ties in very nicely with another new project I’ve just started on – Weight Watchers! All these years sitting at a desk and eating the fabulous food on cruise ships has taken its toll and it is time to take the matter in hand. The plan is to lose just under 5 stone by Christmas, when I will unveil the new slimline me (photos will be blogged!). there are quite a few of us in the office doing the diet so I am in very good company. Hopefully we can give each other plenty of support. Keep you posted!
Below is a short clip of what we aspire to with the dancing –

We are hoping to be looking like real professionals before the Christmas party, so I’ll let you know how things go. I tell you one thing, I shall be far more sympathetic when I watch Strrictly Come Dancing this Autumn.

The chap whose eye I accidently elbowed on week two is due out of hospital shortly and is expected to make a full recovery.
