Do You Like to Dance?

Do you like to dance? Back in the day, I always swore I would marry someone who loved to dance as much as I. I truly did tear up the dance floor in my youth. My favorite was to do big band swing dance, but I also enjoyed country swing dance. I would go two-stepping with friends. Line dances were always fun. And of course, just grooving to the current music at clubs was a blast. I met my husband who pretty much only slow dances. And you know, honestly, I find slow dancing rather boring! One thing I never thought I would do is square dancing. My parents did square dancing most of my childhood. And, of course, since my parents did it, I did not think it was cool or fun. In fact, I thought it was rather square (yes, pun intended). About a month ago, our group of friends had an opportunity to participate in a free or close to free 12 week learn-to-square-dance. I initially just thought it would be fun for my oldest two kids. I had no intention of joining or making my husband join. When i saw the group of 70, or so, people enjoying themselves immensely, I realized that I wanted to do it as well! So the next week, I made my husband come. He didn't think he would enjoy it. But he grudgingly joined us. Imagine his surprise when he liked it too! So here we are, four weeks later, and we are all enjoying it! The kids, the grown ups, yep, all of us! I don't know what will happen when the class is over. The instructor is talking about forming a group that meets twice a month. However, most of us have busy schedules with our kids. So I don't know that any of us want twice a month. I'd be happy to do it maybe once a month. We'll see. Do you like to dance?
