Getting to dance like Ginger...
Monday, February 27, 2017
Hello My Friends,
As I tell my story to audiences far and near,
My message is to Act on Your Dreams—
"It doesn't matter when you start,
It matters that you begin."
Hence this note to share the joy of
Realizing a dream of my own.
You know from my home-page story
My childhood dream was to grow up to
Dance like Ginger Rogers with Fred Astaire.
In fact I somehow thought I'd get to be
Dance partner with Fred A.
Didn't happen.
Tucked away dream for years
Has been to get to move to the music
With Skilled,
Fabulous,
Wonderful dancer.
My Dream item on Bucket List.
Finally made commitment
To ask for that experience
With dance teacher, Brian Sostek from Minneapolis.
Yippee!
Private dance hours with Brian
Leading, coaching, guiding me round
Dance floor.
Which is open space in
Parking garage under
Village on Cannon, condo building where I live.
With Brian's clear, kind, expert teaching,
I feel graceful and lovely
Moving around concrete garage floor,
Like Ginger with Fred on finest dance set.
Childhood dream.
All I have hoped!
LUCKY me.
Hugs to each,
Lin
Fred Astaire, eat your heart out!
Here I am, dancing like a star!
Foxtrot never felt so sweet!
Dancing in the parking garage: amazing fun!
Happy Dance—panting with excitement and exertion!

Oh, Lin! I would say I were jealous, but then I would have missed the point of your message. I laud your choice of dreams, and courage to live them.
Love,
Patsy
If I weren’t me, I’d be jealous, too! I’ve learned that envy is such a good pointer toward what I really want… Hope to hear of you spinning around on some dance floor being “Ginger,” too! When you are ready… love to you, too!
Awesome! So perfect for so many reasons! 😻
Carla, you’ve seen me through many things and into many dreams. Thanks always for your friendship!
You are a huge talent.Go woman!
Thank you, Judy! 🙂
How very wonderful. You are just the best and are now having the time of your life! I always thought that you and Bob were the best dancing partners! Now on to another new adventure.
Love you! Dance a dance for me, Lin!
How dear to know you thought of Bob and I that way, Bev! I have been having the time of my life, and will dance one for you!
The VOC garage clearly has never looked so glamorous as with Ginger & Fred dancing…way way to go, Lin👏💃
Thank you so much, Susan! 🙂 It never felt so good, either!!!
It takes two to tango (or foxtrot as the case may be), and I can’t imagine a more naturally gifted and enthusiastic partner to make the pair than you, Lin. You are the kind of student that inspires teachers to teach.
Brian, you take my breath away! Thank you for standing in for Fred A. with me! 🙂
