When I was 16 and homeschooled, I took a homeschool-mom-taught-class with other homeschoolers about stuff like which order to put silverware and what combinations of genders opens car doors in what order for other combinations of genders. But, more importantly, we learned WALTZ.

I fell in love with waltz. I couldn't get enough. I wanted to learn all the partner dances, so bad, but I didn't have anyone to practice with. You needed a partner! So, innocent me did the obvious thing - post an ad on craigslist asking for a man to come over to practice with me.

This guy in his 40s responded. He claimed to be a competition ballroom coach, and wanted me to come over to his house so he could private tutor me for free. Me, being as sheltered as I was, thought this was a great idea, so I did.

aaand turns out he actually was a competition ballroom coach and a really cool guy and ended up giving me about 10 hrs a week free private coaching as much as I wanted, for over TWO YEARS, and now I know how to dance really well. I'm very grateful to him. Use craigslist, guys!
