Go home to your partner and swing ‘er ’round! Last night was my second time square-dancing with Eddy and his violin school buddies.

I used to spend each New Year’s Eve writing in my private journal, reflecting back on each month [...]

I just finished a Novelty, Folk, and Line Dance class at college. Okay, so it’s a phys. ed. class, but it feels more sophisticated to say I “took dance” at college. Two years ago I took a Ballroom Dance (Latin/Salsa) class. I have this dancing bug in me now and it’s making me do crazy [...]
