Second Time Around



Gary I returned to The Atrium Sunday Night Singles Dance (Indianapolis) last…Sunday, of course. We visited the venue about two years and were both decidedly “meh”…it wasn’t bad, but the floor was linoleum, aka, slick as glass, and they played a lot of disco-y WCS music. It’s hard to imagine a time when Gary and I didn’t do WCS, but the last time we went we didn’t.

So we decided to give it a go again. The floor is still slick, even dancing in a pair of rubber sole dance sneaks. The next time I’ll be wearing shoes with treads. I know it sounds crazy, but trust me. You know how it is walking across the kitchen floor in sock feet? Yeah, it’s like that. But I do think more tread will work.

They played a nice variety of club music, so we worked in all of our respective swings, a rumba or two, and some cha chas. No waltz. Or foxtrot. Lots of line dances. Which was sometimes interesting to maneuver around a whole floor full of folks doing that. But mostly people were polite dancers. And as far as being a singles dance, I didn’t think it was any more “single” than the other clubs we attend…there were lots of singles, but couples too.

Just proves most dance venues are worth at least a couple of shots. I’m glad we tried the Atrium again. It was fun. We’ll be back. With treads.

And they have a Halloween dance!

x

X is my favorite punk band, and there were lots of good ones coming out of the late 70s to early 80s. I've seen more than a few including the Clash. But I have to say for me X tops them all. The two lead singers harmonize just inside of sync, which makes their music haunting, beautiful, and in my opinion, never duplicated. Probably no surprise I love this music...Gary and I dance in much the same way, at least the playing around with timing part. :-)

Our lovely dance teacher Melissa has been doing her hair kinda like the female lead, Exene, did back then. Melissa's is way better. :-) But anyway, that conversation got me thinking about X, and so I found this song, Because I Do, starring Exene as a ghost. It's campy, but cool at the same time. Perfect for this time of year.

Afterlife Dance
