The Boogies Return!

Down but not out, The Brickyard Boogie Dance Club arose from the ashes and put on a fabulous holiday dance yesterday.

Gary and I were afraid they might try and change the format too much… the Boogies are a bop/swing club and we worried they might try to compete with other dance clubs in town. We were very glad to see the Boogies are still the Boogies…lots of swing of all varieties, with a sprinkling of other dances mixed in. This time the sprinkling was a bit more liberal…more Texas two step, cha chas, rumbas, waltzes, night club...there were even a few foxtrots.

We both liked it. Hopefully the slightly amended selection will keep ‘em coming.

And Ron still played, as Gary says, the traditional first swing. It’s the same song. Every time. But that’s OK. The song gives us both a warm feeling. It felt really good to be back on the floor with, in our opinion, the best dance club in town…where the music is funky, the people polite and non-critical, and the most fabulous cookies ever, except for Gary’s.
