It's Friday, so let's talk about something besides Autodesk Forge.

In a previous blog post, I talked about how I am preparing for my father-daughter dance at her wedding in September:

• Father Daughter Dance - a textbook comes to the rescue?

My wife and I finished our last dance lesson this week. I'd like to publicly thank our instructor, Pam Drake of Dance/10 Performing Arts Center, who was very helpful and sympathetic to my plight. Her guidance and insight made the learning experience fun and productive.

I have captured what I have learned:

Now it's down to two remaining challenges for me:

• I have trouble hearing the beat of the music.
• When I focus on hearing the beat, it's hard to get the moves correct.

Fortunately, Pam has equipped me with the techniques I need so that these can be overcome with practice.
