Dancing the night away

Tonight I went to a swing dance at Shorts Recreation Club. The band was fantastic and I danced every chance I got. I found myself laughing as I danced—it was that much fun. As I sat catching my breath and watching the dancers, I spared a thought for all the people sitting at home who could have been out dancing--what a missed opportunity. I used to have the same thought when I went to the Commodore Barry Ballroom in Philadelphia. Why would anyone sit at home if there were a dance on? I think I was meant for an earlier age.

I found the dance via the Meetup website. I found out the woman who organised the Meetup was from Derry. She asked me who I knew from Derry. I said Julie Brown. She said she takes Julie’s yoga class. Yep, Derry’s like that.
