Play it again, Sam
I went to a square dance party tonight (Saundra Bryant calling for Foggy City) and it was a lot of fun. I love squaredancing, but I seem to keep having obstacles come up to my attending class. First there is my Chinese class, which always seems to be on Tuesday night, and then there is my job, which often requires me to work on Monday night (and Wednesday, and Friday. . . and on and on).
I don't know why I like the dancing so much. It's not that sophisticated or unusual. I think it is the friendliness of the atmosphere, and the fact that, unathletic though I am, I can get the rhythms and really feel a part of the choreography. It's the only team sport I've ever been good at, and it feels wonderful to be a part of it.
And the fact that the club has lots of bears in the membership helps too. There is always lots of good, simple, comfort food, and the pricing structure is kept very reasonable. And people are friendly at the events in ways they would not be in a bar.
People go a bit overboard, talking about the bear community as their family sometimes, but I can really see it when I go to these square dance events.
Thanks, guys, for a wonderful time!
