So, Dukes turned out to be amazing. It was definitely a skosh out of my comfort zone but in that good and exhilarating way.
The people I went with were all very new friends but so fun and kind to me. They also were all into swing dancing so we did some of that in addition to line dancing. So fun to be with a group of people who all truly love to get out and dance.
At one point I was standing there watching all the people in jeans doing complicated line dances and I had this surreal feeling that I was inside the movie, Footloose. You know, the scene where they go just outside the city limits to a bar that has line dancing and they find out that Willard is actually a good line dancer even though he was pretty nervous to dance earlier on. So, I go outside to see the awesome patio with a huge roaring fire and when I go back inside what song comes on but, you guessed it...
FOOTLOOSE!
So, my partner and I, of course, hit the dance floor with some awesome Footloose swing. It was such a fun night and I felt somehow oddly reenergized. It reminded me how I really value spontaneity, how I like being pushed out of my comfort zone, and how I love to get out and do something active that involves music.
