Hey!  Just a short post to let you know that I’ve created another category: Latin and Ballroom Dancing (just click on it at the bottom of this page).  Here’s where I’ll let you all know about this other passion of mine (albeit a young one)!  I started this competitive sport back in October 2007 thanks to another Ph.D. student who works on the same floor as I do and I seemed to have really taken to it!  Certainly a previously undiscovered passion!

Rather than crowd this part of my blog with photos and descriptions of achievements from past competitions, I’ll save it for the coming season that starts in October 2008!  It’s going to be amazing!  I have a great dance partner (her name is Nafisa) and we’ve done some personal standard-setting this past year and hope to continue the hard work next year!

To give you a little flavour or what we do, here’s the moment we collected our third trophy (out of a possible four) for the beginners’ category at the national Inter-Varsity Dance Association’s competition 2008 in the world-famous Winter Gardens Ballroom in Blackpool…

I hope you’ll follow us next season!
