Put on those dancin' shoes!

As I may have mentioned in either my profile or application to the PLB, I have a hobby. Yes Star Wars is one of them, but the one I am speaking of now is Swing dancing. FunFunFun:) Before starting college (this was my first year), I NEVER did ANY dancing. I was too busy with my violin (not, but it made a good excuse later on). But as I read my E-mail on Tuesday night, I saw something that caught my eye. "Swing Club, come and dance. No experience needed. We teach." Or at least it went SOMETHING like that.

Anyway. I went, tried, and fell in love (with the dance style...The guy came later;) And went when ever I could. Although it was once a week, I found my self going through the paces of some new move I had learned previously when I was waiting (made sure no one was around, because it looks awful funny with out a partner). Soon, another opportunity came up. There was going to be a international Dance Festival. What a perfect chance to show off. Well, the interest was VERY high. There ended up being 14 of us on stage doing a number choreographed by our club pres to the tune of "Go Daddy-O"

Although that was the only show we did. We gained MUCH popularity afterwards. Our numbers grew and it never lost its fun. And as the last meeting comes tonight, I know that I am going to be SO BORED over summer and most likely forget quite a bit of what I learned. But I intend to take steps to not let that happen. Which will most likely not involve lessons, but ... Actually, I have no idea what it will involve. Backing up, I will make every effort next year to continue, as there is a gig set up for the tenth anniversary Gala of the 1944 Hall opening (music Building), PLUS one of our members (treasurer) is planning a ballroom showcase next year, which I have every intention of participating in. Whether it be in Swing or something else.

One thing is for certain, IT'S GONNA BE TONS OF FUN!
