Dancin' the Texas two-step

First of all, thank you all so much for praying with me for Syria.  Let's continue to pray that the leaders of all nations make decisions with the best interests of the people of Syria in mind, and that the cycle of violence somehow ends.

Now, if you'll pardon my regression to frivolity, I have an important newsflash:  

So as some of you know, I love dancing—especially swing-dancing.  Partner dancing is one of my favorite things.  So when a group from a church near me decided to go Texas two-stepping, I couldn't help but tag along!

Yes, I, the east-coaster, learned the Texas two-step.  You all have license to mock me now.  I was NOT, however, wearing a cowboy hat or boots or anything of that nature.  Lots of people at the club were dressed thusly, but not I.

The two-step isn't hard to figure out, especially as a follow.  There's two types:  the regular two-step and progressive.  I still get a little confused for the progressive, but the other kind was more common so that's okey.  And most of the spins and things are similar to things I know from swing-dancing, so I was able to pick it up quickly.  The most different thing about the two-step is that you're constantly moving—the dance floor is arranged kindof like an ice-skating rink, with people moving in a counter-clockwise circle.  Overall, it is a lot more gentle than swing-dancing; in the two-step, you glide across the floor.  I actually really like it—it's lots of fun.

Now that I've made my confession, here is a picture of some wugs dancing the Wugsas two-step:
