August photos 3

Here we have more of my August photos of my album; the first one it's Katelyn and I again making a waltz pose on August 12, 2008(my birthday, belated actually)

Then I took a photo on Balboa Island @ night after my group class(August 19, 2008). I really love the shops on the island, especially the ice cream, dessert stores. It's always a great idea to assuage your thirst after a long hot day in the summer.

This photo it's a self-taken photo of me on Balboa Island the following day(August 20, 2008). I guess I had no idea on where to place my camera so I can take an auto-photo instead of the so-called "Myspace" self-taken photos. Anyways, I love the scenery as always and the sunset view on lovely Balboa Island!
This one I took it with the auto-timer function on my cam; I simply placed the camera on the postal box and ran to my spot. I know it's kinda far but at least I did it without anyone's help or using the"Myspace" style. I love the burgundy t-shirt; it represents my honors society of Saddleback. I was involved in Psi Beta, a 2-year honor society of psychology.

This photo delineates the friendly aspects of dancing. Oksana Kalinuka is my new private social ballroom dancing instructor @ Avant Garde Ballroom, the original location of Promenade Dance. Ever since Joe received his certificate to teach at a new studio, he moved away to his home studio. But that didn't stop me from attending classes here. So I decided to sign up a class.

I really enjoyed this class too because Oksana it's an excellent instructor; here are key points I need to work on while dancing waltz: shoulders NEVER move up or down, ALWAYS step on the heels of the foot when stepping forward and toes when stepping backwards. Cannot lean against the ladies(that would consider falling on top of the world). Finally, using my shoulders as well as my knees to send the step and lead the lady to turn with me during a waltz. Very versatile advice indeed!
