Thread Name: May I Have This Dance?
Subject: RE: BS: May I Have This Dance?
My parents only interest in music was-is it danceable to? They loved ballroom dancing in a social, not a competition way, right up to my mother's death at 85. My own dancing style, rarely seen these days, is a sort of jive plus free form flailing that embarrasses my lovely wife whose Charleston is the envy of many, who has been a hit at many impromptu taverna evenings (including acclaimed participation in Ikarian Leaping Dance and Kalymniot dancing on bartop). My own attempts at Hasapiko with Yorgos and friends...well, guess who's the one out of step - can't tell my dexia podi from my aristera! I have occasionally tried to prove I could once do the twist (or the Eagle Rock as we called it in the old days!) but just can't get down low any more without ending up on my backside.
