Shall We Dance?

For those of you who don't know, I love dancing.  However, I'm not very good at it.  As a matter of fact, I'm pretty bad.  However, I still get out there and try my best.  Why?  I just told you, I love it!  I don't care if I look like a fool doing it, I'm having fun, so I don't care.

That being said, I am very particular of the kind of dancing I enjoy.  If you were to take me to your average club where people are grinding to some dubstep song I would have a strong desire to smack you upside the head.  That is not dancing, that is dry humping.  I'm talking about real dancing.  Now some people do dance very well in those palces, but not me.  I prefer the classics.  I like ballroom, swing, and most of all a good old fashioned two-step.  I'm also a big fan of Line Dancing.  To those that know me well, this will come as no surprise.  However I really love to line dance.  I'm pretty bad at it right now, but I'm getting better (or at least I think I am) and am always eager to go out on the floor and make a fool of myself while having a blast doing it.

Unlike a good number of people out there, I'm all about the slow dance.  Don't get me wrong, I love a good fast swing or two step, but there is just something so... meaningful, about taking someone you care about in your arms and swaying to a good slow love song.  I have had very few opportunities to do this, which makes me sad.  It seems to be a dying trend, the slow dance.  I feel it is something we all need.  To be able to just drift away with the one we love.  Nothing in the world but the two of you and a soft song.  It is a moment that can be so wonderful and so intimate.  As Ferris Bueller said "life moves pretty fast" so sometimes you just need to slow things down.

God bless!
