Honestly, I'm not very good, but I am better when there are rules or, at least, shared expectations.<br /><br />My wife likes to dance but in the "let's cut loose free for all" style that I can't seem to manage. I don't even try. From the bandstand, I've seen too many men do the "white guy jogging in place looking like he has to pee dance" to risk it.<br /><br />Of course, <i>she</i> couldn't seem to manage the basic box step before our wedding. I don't know what that means. Something, I think.<br /><br />Great story. Congratulations on the potw.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-67446691339644087372010-05-05T04:42:13.058-05:002010-05-05T04:42:13.058-05:00Congrats on your POTW!!

I LOVE to dance, too, but am so rusty now, I would dream of embarrassing myself on the dance floor. it's just not Mr. B's thing. Funny enough, when I lived in Fort Bend County and worked for the Herald-Coaster, I had a dear friend who I suspected was gay and he was my most delightful dance partner. We too went to clubs and disco-danced ourselves silly. He did come out later, but that's another story, which I'll save for a post. Thank you for this delightful memory!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372015226222285350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-67772766199132616822010-05-02T00:16:18.228-05:002010-05-02T00:16:18.228-05:00I loved this post...

Business meeting, all go to a club afterwards. Guy asks me to dance,with a gentlemanly bow, he took my hand as I agreed. <br /><br />Polka, rock and roll, waltz...I never sat again. We were strangers, both loved to dance and I remember him twenty years later. I hope he remembers me because his dancing swept me off my feet. We never shared a name, the love of dance was why we were there.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-47887794256194255312010-05-01T12:28:03.675-05:002010-05-01T12:28:03.675-05:00What a perfect post for May Day, when people are d...What a perfect post for May Day, when people are dancing around maypoles even as I write this.
