Wow! I’d trip and fall for sure. No wonder Collins was bumbling around. If you don’t know what you’re about, you certainly don’t need to be on the dance floor. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this post. It brought back memories of my parents dancing the minuet at a party in my childhood home. I only saw them dance this once. Their guests – my dad’s coworkers and their spouses – had asked them to do it, recreating the dance they’d performed at an evening of outdoor skating, the groups’ previous social event. We were all in awe. It was magical. I regret not having seen the earlier occasion when they danced together on ice under the stars. They looked so romantic, the only time I saw them that way.
