Welcome and Happy birthday!
I hope you get to class real soon! Also you might want to consider getting a beginners DVD for home practice... I simply LOOVE Jenna's Basics and Beyond as she breaks down moves realy clearly, it is helpful if you practice at home(as I do) or as a after class practice, to understand the mechanics of the moves better or just drill the stuff learnt in class! I recommend Jenna's site and Salome's store both offer excellent service(I cant stop bragging about my signed DVD from Jenna's site!)
In this thread you can read up more on DVD's. Also most DVDs in Salome's store have links to youTube so that you can preview!
What instructional DVDs/Videos you have?
Happy posting and Happy dancing!
