So I'm happy to be here. I live in Seattle and I'm 72. I've been trying to learn salsa and bachata dance for a while, but as basically an old cowboy, the salsa dance scene is a bit intimidating. And here in Seattle, everyone seems to be in their 20's, but me.
So...I wandered down the street and noticed a hole in the wall country bar named the Little Red Hen. And I love it! Folks are dancing 2 step and swing, and there's a huge diversity of ages, races, everything. It's my new home!
And they have dancing about 4 nights per week! So I feel that this is my chance to finally freaking learn how to dance, before I die!
But I was a bit shocked to learn that there are dance forms that use a six count (from the cowboy six shooter?) . But I'm figuring it out, and you all explain it well. So I'm happy to be here, and I'm very impressed by this huge dance thing that Brian B has created. Good work, Brian! Cheers, Jim in Seattle.

I just joined this, and paid for a year.
I really like Brian B's casual vibe. And the general clarity of the lessons. I also like that in your videos, it shows the whole move first before its broken down. Because often, that's the only part that I need to see.

Good idea! ...as opposed to tattooing them on your arm! Which I've thought about...
