I wound up as an Arthur Murray instructor for a couple of years. And it was a ball.<BR/><BR/>I may only know a few steps in a number of dances, but they serve me well.

I needed no further coaxing to realize that women define the best dancer as the most attractive man in the room. Height, weight, looks, money bedamned if you could dance!<BR/><BR/>That led to many nights shagging on beer soaked hardwood floors in the KA house and sunburned cheeks, tanned peds shod in navy blue Bass Weejuns...dancing at Fat Jacks, The Pad, Spanish Galleon. You'd have been laughed out of these joints if you even hinted at performing the "Hustle...Bump...Electric Slide" etc. Enough said.ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-20537549860960743272008-12-31T10:11:00.000-08:002008-12-31T10:11:00.000-08:00Lovely post - Lord of the Flies meets Gone with th...Lovely post - Lord of the Flies meets Gone with the Wind. reminds me of my late husband's Patrick Henry Nelson IV, reminiscences of cotillions in his native South Carolina.
