Friday night we did a double header. We went first to the Officer's Club on Ft Belvoir to enjoy their seafood buffet and music by Special Delivery. We were seated at a table close to the dance floor so we didn't have to go far when some good dancing music was played. After that we went to Studio One for the Friday night practice. There's always a good selection of dance music there. We were also treated to an exhibition of the samba routine that Laurie and Richard have put together for the showcase a Lioudmila's this weekend.
We slept well Friday night after dancing for the better part of 4 hours.
We love to dance. We go to as many dances as we can. Rhumba is one of our favorite dances. This blog was started as a place to share our experiences in dancing.

Lioudmila's Dance Studio
Studio One was closed for the Thanksgiving holiday so we couldn't follow our normal Friday night routine and go there for the social dance. We used to think that going out on Friday night after working all week was a hassle. Now, we really miss it when we can't go. It's just a great way to finish off the week and change gears for the weekend. It gives us a chance to practice our dance steps and visit with friends.
So, this week we decided to go to Lioudmila's. We have some friends that go there for lessons and they highly recommended their social dances. It was easy to find as it is just off the Beltway and down Telegraph road to Roth Street. They have good parking and are located on the 2nd floor of an office building. The floor has a good setup for taking lessons. Imagine an "H" with the bottom closed. There is the top of the stairwell in the middle of the floor and across from it is the desk. It looks like they can have several lessons going at one time without getting in each other's way. They have a beautiful wood floor that is well maintained. There is plenty of room for the dance parties also. The gentleman we spoke to told us that they get between 50-80 dancers for their social dances. There appeared to be more than enough room. This being the Friday after Thanksgiving, we had the floor to ourselves for the better part of an hour. The Friday night dance starts at 8:00 PM and ends at 11:00. Other dancers started filtering in around 9:00.
We will definately be going back to their Saturday dance parties.
