saturday night my friends and family threw a fabulous birthday party for me! knowing how much i love pop culture and hollywood, they threw me a glamorous awards show cocktail party. i even got my own star on the hollywood walk of fame! (ok, not a real star, but a genuine replica star, with my name on it, made by the artists that make the real ones!) i am really, truly blessed to have such fantastic people in my life!
after the cocktails, we went swing dancing at the ballroom of this fabulous restored amusement park, glen echo, which also fit perfectly with my love of all things vintage - especially the 1930s! i had such a great time and here's the great part - i was asked to dance by the serious dancers! for those of you who don't know that much about the swing scene, there's the first-time dancers who are just getting on their feet, there's the intermediate dancers who have been to a few dances before, and then there's the serious dancers who not only know the moves, but dress the part. for the beginner dancers, you're pretty much confined to dance with the people you brought with you. even for the immediate dancers, if you're not being hit on, you're usually dancing with your friends. the serious dancers like to dance with new and different people. they survey the crowd and watch how everyone dances and will ask the decent dancers to dance.
now, i've been dancing now for almost five years, and i've always been in that immediate category. i'd get the occasional hitting on and sometimes i'd get asked by the good dancers, but usually only because there weren't any other decent dancers. and my experience dancing in the dc area, its usually liz who gets asked to dance because she's good. but on saturday, i elevated to the top tier! i danced with the regulars and actually got to use my lindy skills! yeah! |
