Mambo Santa Mambo!!

There we were on a Saturday night, enjoying the evening with a dozen or so of our good friends from Dance Discovery, at a charity dinner-dance at the Colombo Hall. We’d enjoyed a good dinner, and the dancing was underway. We’d danced a Foxy, then a Jive, sat down for a while, hopped up again for a Cha-Cha, and were well into a Mambo when we felt a tap on our shoulders. Was somebody cutting in?? No. There stood a good-looking young man with an envelope in his hand. “Congratulations!” he said, “You’ve been judged the best dancers on the floor.” Well. Wow! What a boost to the self-esteem!

We know we’re not the best dancers at our school. Neither of us is tall, slim, young, or naturally elegant. But when we’re dancing, we are having FUN, and apparently that shows.

The prize was two gift cards for Starbucks. We look forward to enjoying each other’s company on a little outing there. Besides exercising our bodies and minds, our lessons and involvement at Dance Discovery have strengthened our marriage, enhanced our emotional well-being, and given us a social circle of happy couples to go dancing and adventuring with. Good times!
