I have never been a good dancer.  I just don’t get it and as a consequence have not danced in years.

My wife Joanne, however, is the Natural on the dance floor.

Last Saturday we went to a party and the music was from our era and she asked me to dance and I surprised myself with my willingness.

Well, surprise surprise, I was out there moving just about on the beat and enjoying it.

Was I missing something all these years?

I've always love to dance. My Mom used to say I learned to walk to Merengue music. :)

Yay! Just say “YES!” We get older. We stop being so self conscious and can let go and have fun! You were probably a fine dancer all along! Enjoy!

I can't dance for my life and my wife rarely wants to go on the dance floor, so I guess it works out for us both. But enough alcohol and you just never know.

Fred! I'm surprised you don't like to dance, but I'm glad to know you got out there and "cut up the rug". Dancing is thee best ! My girl Lee Ann Womack says...."And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.....I hope you DANCE!"

Me: I don’t dance

Tequila: Oh yes you do !

I listen to music all day long . Sometimes very loud . I’d rather listen than dance . But when I do it’s with reckless abandon . Let’s go to the hop style . Alone . But I remember Joanne on the dance floor . No wonder you don’t dance . Jo is a tough act to follow . Your eye doctor Leslie Goldberg was the best dancer I ever saw . I have too many moving parts . Rhythm I got though ! The trick is to be quiet . Not a lot of extraneous movement . No flailing . Stay inside yourself . Solid eye contact . But you already know that right Derf ? Those Roslyn girls could dance . That’s for sure !
If Magnuson wasn’t so portly he might have gotten the girl .

When you’re hot, you’re hot; when you’re not, you’re not. That’s the whole story.
