The Beautiful Christmas Dance


Wow! How beautiful all the table decorations were at the Black Tie Dinner Dance we attended for the Christmas season. It was great to be together with all of our long time friends we have met on the dance floor. As we all grow a bit older we treasure each moment we are blessed to be able to spend together. I must admit that getting all dressed up was, and of course always is, just one of the fun aspects of the formal dances.

We belong to a club and the band knows all the different types of music to play to allow us the opportunity to dance all the different dances we have learned. What fun! Oh, the waltz. My favorite! And then dancing swing to "In The Mood" which was a hit long before I was ever born but is a timeless classic with a fabulous swing beat. Cha cha, Mambo, Rumba, Tango, Samba -- all the other dances we love.

The beautiful and colorful lights and Christmas trees and visiting with dear friends between sets while the band was on break. What more could I ask for as a dedicated ballroom dancer?
