Laura and I went to watch part of a nearby collegiate ballroom dance competition, and were pleased to discover that we haven't lost that most important attribute: petty cattiness. Who cares if our style is getting sloppy as long as we can watch other people with sloppy style and verbally rip them apart? Given that, I suspect we'd have no problem jumping back into the competitive circuit. (In fairness to us, these were people dancing several levels above where we ever danced, so their style really should have been much better.)

But in all seriousness, it was a lot of fun. There were a few couples that were very good and were a lot of fun to watch, and we caught some of the fun events (the ubiquitous reverse-lead Cha-Cha being one of them), which are great to watch and reminded us of some of the fun parts of competitions. And hopefully watching and doing a bit of dancing during the general dances will finally goad us into finding some new lessons so we start dancing regularly again. It would just be for fun though; watching the comp was entertaining, but we don't really want to get back into that circuit.

But if we did, we could totally kick some of their butts.
