Re: Maks Is Back! Season 23
Was just visiting friend...in hospital. She is in a recliner, had just been to 1 hour (the afternoon session) of p.t.
Feeling so grateful and optimistic about life/her retirement.

Re: Maks Is Back! Season 23
Tango, I was wondering how you spent last evening. At the viewing party? Hope you had a blast. Were your lessons all you hoped they'd be. I imagine you have full range of motion with the arm now. True?

Re: Maks Is Back! Season 23
AGT..final tonight for anyone interested.
Friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold, its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.
May this FriendSHIP always have wind in its sails and a sunrise on the horizon.

So far everything has been wonderful. I have been welcomed with open arms at the Glen Rock studio, as I knew I would be. Yesterday was intense but great. Four hours of lessons! Hubby had two! I was sore and exhausted but so pleased with how everything went. Most of my lessons were with Anton, but at the end of the afternoon, I had one with Vlad. We worked on jive. I learned that he was also one of Maks' students. He was in all but the last Sway and was also on the tour this summer.
We went back to our hotel and showered and then went back for the viewing party. That was fun. Everyone is friendly. We spent a few minutes trying to convince this couple that Anton had invited that they should take dance lessons. They had chairs set up and refreshments. Then we all watched the dances. During the commercials, they played music and people danced. Maks and Val got big applause, of course.
Today began with a TWO-HOUR lesson with Tony! From what I could tell, he came specifically to work with me. I was greeted with a big hug. We worked hard on rumba & samba. I was dancing with Anton and Tony was critiquing me. It was intense but exhilarating. I am still on a high from that.
After a break, I had another lesson with Anton. He wanted to go over some of the samba we had worked on with Tony, but after a nearly 2-hr break, my hips didn't want to go there anymore. Then I had a lesson with Ivan. He was in Sway and was also on the tour this summer. He was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed dancing with him, too.
We go back tomorrow for a few more lessons, and then Thursday morning we return the car and head into the city for the rest of the week at Soho!

Sorry, I had to use this. I haven't laughed so much in a long time.
