Learning to Dance

I went to England with my mother.  
She used to be a singer in a band.  
We went to the hotel that she used to sing at.  
It was a big fancy hotel.  
Some of the people that she knew when she sang in the band were still there.  
They remembered my mother, and they had a good time talking to her and remembering 
old times.  
Many people told me that I looked like my mother.  
In the hotel, they had a fancy hall where they had ballroom dancing.  
I am not used to that kind of dancing.  
I always dance to rock music.  
A man told me that he would teach me how to dance.  
It looked very easy.  
I held one of his hands, and put my other hand on his shoulder.  
He told me exactly how to move my feet.  
I was very clumsy, and I stepped on his toes.  
He was patient with me, and he counted "one, two, three."  
I tried to waltz with him.  
I would start out pretty well, but then I would get mixed up and stand on his toes again.  
The man laughed about it.  
I told him that I wasn't a very good dancer, but he said that I was good for a beginner.  
I think he was just being polite.  
The man asked my mother to dance.  
My mother is a very good dancer.  
I didn't know that about her.  
She never stepped on the man's toes once.  
The man thanked us for dancing with him, and I thanked him for giving me dancing 
lessons.  
I don't think I'll ever be very good at that type of dancing.  
Each generation has a specific type of dancing. 
The way that I dance is different from the way that my mother dances.  
The way that I dance doesn't involve moving your feet too much.  
I'm not too good at fancy steps.
