Happy Valentine's Day!

Not really a dancing card, but Happy Valentine's Day!

Belated Happy Valentine's Day

I'm way behind in my writing. That's my way of saying sorry for being MIA from the blog. It's a good thing I've got Kelly to take up the slack or people would figure I'd dropped off the face of the planet! So, that said, I'd planned on writing something for Valentine's Day. I mean it's a dance holiday what with all the romance and making googly eyes at one another. With dance being the social lubricant and introducer of couples it is, there's no better excuse to pen a few words on the subject of getting out on the floor with your significant-whatever! Unfortunately, work (the woe that it is) has been preoccupying me of late and I let the day slip by without writing anything (mind you I didn't forget it, that would just be foolishness!).

Anyway, here is something I found on Shorpy. A creepy little cupid roundup.

Valentine’s Day

Gary and I attended two dances over the weekend, the Brickyard Boogies and the Continental's weekly Sunday dance. Of the two, the Continentals put on the one specifically labeled as a Valentine’s Day dance, although many people were dressed in red on Saturday, too.

There’s something very sweet about seeing most folks in red for this holiday, and dancing to valentine-inspired music just makes you want to stare into your partner’s eyes even more, sigh. We had a wonderful time. The Continentals can be counted on for giving a dance for every holiday, which we like. It’s fun to dress for the occasion; it's special and old-fashioned.

Here’s a picture of people doing a Greek number at the Continetal dance. It’s not exactly valentine-ish, but the flaming outfits are.



Have a happy, happy day.
