The Winter Showcase at That's Dancing Ballroom & Dancesport Center had "Country Christmas" as its theme. We stuck to the theme with two dances, a Rumba to George Strait's I Just Want to Dance with You and a Foxtrot to Christmas Cookies, also by George Strait. As usual, they had professional videographers and photographers so I can pass on the joy to you!
As I look through the pictures, the opening looks an awful lot like the final bow!
Crossover Side Rocks or Final Bow?
The rest of the choreography was fun.

The second song, "Christmas Cookies," had a more fun flavor, especially since it featured actual cookies!
The "oven" was our toaster oven from home but the cookies were real, as were the sprinkles that I didn't really sprinkle over the cookies.
Getting them out of the oven
Adding those "sprinkly things!"
The oven mitt that matches the apron was a new item made by a precious aunt (who made the original apron for a previous dance of ours, that one involving cake).

Ready for a change
About to get rid of the mitt
Originally, dancing our way back to the oven was just to use the floor space, but we hit on the idea of eating a cookie right in time with the music.
Going back for a bite
Yum!
Back to dancing
Swish!
The second time, when we fed each other, we thought it was extra-cute.
A bite for you!
Back to dancing
On our way
The first bow
We had a lot of extra cookies and distributed little boxes of them to each table, including the judge's table! The bribe didn't really get us anything.
Giving out the last box
The final final bow
At the end, we received the usual certificates and gifts.
