She began to cry. “I really wanted to dance tonight!” She cried, hugging me around the middle. “You can still dance,” the teacher told her. “This is a recital, not the real deal.” “No!” my daughter shouted in frustration. I can’t attend a ballet recital with no ballet shoes! There’s no point!”
• My mother loves to dance, but she isn’t often very good at it. The one dance she gets right every single time is the mum-bo.
• The other night, I went to my cousin’s birthday party. It was disco themed, and we had a lot of fun dancing that night. Suddenly the party was interrupted by the cops. They told us there was a killer on the loose, and they had received information that he might be here at the party! Despite the cops’ attempts to calm everyone, we all began to freak out and run in every direction. This had gone from a fun party to a Panic at the Disco.
• I went to the doctor today to tell him about a recurring dream I keep having. “Every Saturday night, I told him, “I have a recurring dream. I dream that I’m dancing, but each Saturday night there is a different dance in a different place. One night, I’ll be doing the waltz in an old fashioned ballroom, the next week I’ll be having fun at a disco. This past Saturday, I dreamed I was slow dancing with my partner in a field of flowers. Sometimes, the dances don’t fit with the environment or the music. A few weeks ago, I was wildly break dancing to a slow love ballad in a coal mine. Sometimes I even wake up in a cold sweat, whether It was a scary dream or a funny one. That’s not what concerns me though doc. Dreams can be weird. My question is, what’s going on with me?” The doctor finished writing on his clipboard, then he looked slowly up at me. “I think I know what’s going on with you,” he replied. “You’ve got Saturday Night Fever.”
• How do you get a cow to dance? Why, by playing the moo-sic he likes, of course!
• Our electricity went out last night. It was very dark. We figured it wouldn’t last long, but what could we do in the meantime? Suddenly I had an idea. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my downloaded music. I asked what my friends were in the mood to hear, and we agreed on Bruce Springsteen. I started up a list of his songs and we danced until the lights came back on. We all became closer friends that night. You should have seen us Dancing in the Dark.
• Our family went to a dance. There were no drugs or alcohol so we were able to bring our two year old son. At one point he snuck off in the direction of the DJ, who didn’t notice due to being so invested in mixing the music. I looked over and noticed, way too late, that he had been picking his nose and was about to wipe a booger on the dj’s equipment. I didn’t get there in time. My son wiped his booger on one of the buttons, and the entire system failed, along with the electricity in the house. Some people panicked, others walked out in frustration. My husband was furious, but he didn’t know what made him more upset: the fact that we now had to go home because the electricity had failed, or that our son had caused it. “He’s two,” I reminded my husband. Don’t blame him. We were all having fun and nobody was watching him. We were too busy dancing. Besides, it technically wasn’t his fault. He was trying to get rid of a booger. Don’t blame it on him. Blame It On The Boogie.
