Last night was our best night so far. We came in 2nd place for the evening! Now it's on to the Mambo. I'm so excited about the song. I love "Hungry Eyes." I have loved it since I was younger and first saw "Dirty Dancing." Speaking of which, last night after the competition I told Josh that he and I were having a movie night. He wanted to go out with everyone but I told him that he was going home and watching "Dirty Dancing." To my surprise, he didn't really protest. I thought it would be good for him to learn a little about the mambo and I could point out some of Baby's mistakes while she's learning. I think it worked out. We talked about frame and dancing on the 2nd beat.

That's the hard part about Mambo. It's pause-2-3-4 and the natural tendency is to want to dance on the first beat. I heard that the judges were going to let us dance on 1, but I refuse. If we're going to do it, we're going to do it right and that means dancing on 2. I'm sure it will also mean that my toes get stepped on a lot during rehearsals.

Tonight is our Mambo class and then we have another rehearsal for the Waltz. This competition is really starting to heat up now. A really good dancer was eliminated last night. You just never know how things are going to work out. Anything can happen.
