Afterglow











yada yada - all that jazz


boogie-woogie - razmatazz


cake walk  - foxtrot


go with the flow


two-step - tango


fast or slow


waltzing - tapping


one-two-three


salsa - rumba


you and me

    What fun! I am caught up in the dance, which is, I suppose, exactly what you intended!

      My dearest friend and her husband have been salsa dancing for years ~ quite the experts. If you lived in ABQ you could join them!

    Sets the toes to tapping, for sure. My sister loves to dance, especially salsa.

    I love to watch people dance--I can't imagine how they do it since I have two left feet and trip a lot--I always sit there amazed Enjoyed, Helen--this really has the dance beat, too.

    Do you want to lead? Or do you follow?
    All that needs is a band. I can already hear the tune!

    Makes me think of an old song "Do You Wanna Dance?"
    Good stuff.

    I missed the Tony Awards! How neat that they inspired this rhythmic piece. Makes me feel like dancing.

    O.k. I see you right there on stage, singing and grooving. Yes, I get toe-tapping too when I hear a nice melody, a dance-able tune.

    What a fun piece. I want to dance now. Well, I want to learn to dance now. I admire anyone that can dance to the music.

    dancing amazes me. it's so complex and expressive, and manages to be both entirely skilled and practiced and also spontaneous and light.
    .. at least, when the right people do it... i am not in that group.
    thanks for getting me going today with a groove and a tap and all that jazz.

    I forget these things from dance to dance. Must return at every event. Yet sooo simple.
