Shake Your Groove Thang!

Have you ever said, "I don't dance", "I can't dance", or "I will save myself the embarassment"?

Do you think you may just look like this when you dance?

 OH MY!

Well, I have one question for you.  Does it really matter?

Ever since I was a kid I have LOVED to dance.  I never took dance lessons or anything like that.  I would make up my own dance routines on my driveway to whatever casette tapes I got my hands on - Michael Jackson's Thriller until it got chewed up beyond repair, Aretha Franklin's "Who's Zoomin' Who?" was a fave and then about grade 5 it was replaced by Paula Abdul and Debbie Gibson.

Dance has evolved over the years from a way of enducing a trance like state before going into battle, to a form of worship, to what is more or less a form of expressing joy and having fun in present day society.

So folks, I'm asking you.  When was the last time you danced and did you have fun doing it?  Some might say that they didn't because they thought they were bad at it and people were watching but what happens when you're by yourself and suddenly you're boogeying and belting out a tune in the privacy of your own home?

IT'S FUN! 

I don't know if I'm good at dancing or not but it's not something that even plays on my mind and I advise you to do the same.  It is not often that adults can let loose and have a good time but when opportunity arises you must seize it.  And a word of warning, if I'm around I am relentless and WILL get you up on the dance floor.

So this Christmas season, take the opportunity to throw caution to the wind and live a little.  Dance like nobody's watching!

P.S.  An eggnog or two might help get you up on the dance floor!
