Dance watching
I wandered over to the fall dance to see what all the noise was about. Silly me, my concept of dance was based on old style dance where form was important and music was meaningful.
The dance (I use the term lightly) looked more like unstructured aerobics than a graceful pair performance. Part of me wanted to join in. What held me back, fear of people or a sense of decency?
The slow, close dancing to what sounded like
CCM seemed like a perverse joke.
The basic idea behind modern dances seems to be acting happy and bouncing around to the beat. Actually following the beat appears to be optional.
1/10th of the participants are actually pair or group dancing, 4/10ths are pretending, and the rest are standing around.
Other than the
CABbies, I saw no one with whom I would normally interact with, run into, or notice.

TLPs of the
RA and
RD varient were present. I'm guessing to prevent people from doing what some of the songs suggested. The dance felt like a borderline event. That is, an event that could quickly go south.
Anyway, off to bed I go. 6.5 hours of sleep make Jon groggy, grumpy, and cross.
