For those of you who don’t know, the wife and I enjoy swing dancing together, when we’re able to go. We actually started out taking weekly lessons here in Colorado, long before we were engaged. So we thought it would be fun to go back to the old cafe where we learned, where they do Sunday night swing sessions with live bands, plus a lesson if you go early.
Anyways, wouldn’t it figure that we get there for the live music, and a cowboy band sets up instead? They even said, “Oh, don’t let the getups scare you off, we’re still swinging tonight.”
Two square-dancing songs later, we decided to leave.
…sigh…
Oh well. It was worth the effort. We’re still trying to find a decent swing dance spot out in NYC, if you can believe that. All the music they play at the various dance clubs and such ends up being two beats too slow for the jitterbug, East-coast style we learned originally. Maybe we’ll have to take up salsa or tango in the meantime. Anyone have suggestions on dance spots and lessons?
I see that smile.
Wow,
I really had to do a double-take on that headline today buddy. I know you’re newly-weds and good Christians, but a question like that can provoke the most outrageous answers! 🙂
(Now you see? It IS possible to be 40 and still have the sense of humour of an eight-year-old!)
Hah! Right after I posted this, the wife asked me if I had considered the double meaning of the title. It totally slipped by me…but ya know…I’m gonna leave it as is. It might attract a whole new audience to the blog.
