couple dance; swing dances on a ballroom club

I really love to dance. When I was small, I went with my mom to concerts and I looked at a man and woman dancing ballroom. I told my Mom I wanted to dance like them. I started at a ballroom dancing studio called ‘Smile’ when I was 7 and I graduated from the ballroom dance academy when I was 17 years old. I really love the Vienna Waltz and the Cha Cha Cha. I love the waltz because it is imbued with romance. This dance is the main dance at a wedding. It seems that dancing a waltz is very easy, but technically it is very difficult to do. Cha-cha-cha, on the other hand, is a very cheerful, rhythmic and carefree Latin American dance. It lifts your spirits. I still dance a little bit now, but I don’t have a lot of time. I still love dancing though.
