Dancing??? — 7 months ago
I haven’t really danced much since my teenage years, when one was almost forced to if you wanted to impress your date (or embarrass her) by your fancy/lousy footwork at school dances. After graduation I have rarely danced except at an occasional wedding reception, where alcohol drank in mass quantities was typically what instigated this infrequent behavior in myself. YMCA, the Electric Slide, The Duck Dance, yep, I did it all.
So, now, I suddenly want to go dancing. And it’s not like I have to; I am not being forced at gunpoint or even being asked for that matter. This is solely my idea. And I ask, what’s gotten into me? I don’t know but I want to go dancing with Miss Maggie sometime soon. Just want to do this with her; swing her around, hold her close, just be with her. She makes me want to try new things, see new places, challenge myself more. Maybe love does that kind of thing to you…
Well, there is a place in St. Louis where they have ballroom or swing dancing usually, typically on Friday and Saturday nights. They even have free lessons before the band starts so why not give it a try? Yes, we may embarrass ourselves a bit, but who cares as long as we have fun, right? And I know they serve alcohol there in case I need a little push! :)
