Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken for granted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.

     I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor.

     Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.

就在爷爷1965年死于癌症的几周前，奶奶庆祝了她的五十三岁生日。尽管他的去世对她来说非常艰难，但我认为他们为延长他的寿命而共同努力教会了奶奶，健康不是理所当然的，她下定决心尽可能充分、长久地度过自己的余生。有一天，当她宣布要去她居住的俄勒冈州波特兰市的弗雷德·阿斯泰尔舞蹈工作室上课时，我们尴尬地翻了个白眼，无助地希望她能像普通祖母一样呆在家里烤饼干。许多年来，在我们学会欣赏有一个跳舞的奶奶的奇迹之前，我们上了无数的舞蹈课。

我想奶奶想学跳舞的主要动机是社交。她一直是一个害羞的女孩，总是又高又重，在对自己的外表形成任何优雅或自信之前，她就已经适应了爷爷安静的生活方式。另一方面，舞蹈让她的生活充满了闪光灯、精彩的派对、美丽的连衣裙、英俊的年轻舞蹈教练和学习的挑战。虽然每周的舞蹈课并没有改变她200磅的丰盈身材，但奶奶在舞池里充满活力的表演让所有人都感到惊讶，这很快给了她与任何美国小姐竞争对手一样的优雅和自信。

多年来，我奶奶每周都上舞蹈课，很容易学会了各种舞蹈，很快就参加了西北各地的舞蹈比赛。当我十四岁的时候，奶奶自豪地邀请我观看她在红狮酒店大宴会厅举行的一场比赛。当时我的态度仍然不热情，但为了让她高兴，我和妈妈参加了比赛。似乎是为了证明我错了，奶奶在她参加的每一个活动中都做了精彩的表演。我认为她真的是舞会上的女王，不久后，当她因出色的表现被授予金杯奖时，评委们也分享了我的想法。
