When was the last time
you danced?
In 1987 Norman Mailer made a terrible movie called Tough Guys Don’t Dance and thankfully no has seemed to take his title’s message to heart. Nowadays, most enlightened folks understand that not only do tough guys dance, but so do not-tough guys and those who fall in-between.
Dancing is fun, especially if you don’t care how you look. People who get uptight about appearing ridiculous in front of others tend to miss out on all of the best experiences. When I was a kid I was one of them, but then at some point something triggered my “I don’t give a F” button and all bets have been off ever since.

The timing of this question couldn’t be better. The short answer is — yesterday. The long answer is — before this month, it was 7 years ago. Back then, I used to dance all the time. Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa were my favorites. I used to perform, compete, go to dance camps. And then — along came a series of unfortunate events. All to my legs, which are kind of crucial to dancing, yes? Hip damage, nerve damage. Shooting pain. Doctors and hospitals would shrug their shoulders, give me a cane and some painkillers, both of which I would promptly… Read more »
I kinda think you’re doing the site a disservice by having this in the comments here and not as a post of its own. 🙂

last time i shimmied along (in the funk style of dancing) was yesterday, for about 10 seconds
