Valentines Dances

We did get some dancing in for Valentines Day. On the 14th we went to the Officer's Club at Ft. Belvoir. They had an ensamble with a singer, a keyboard player, and a drummer. We went with Janet and Jeff and another couple who are friends of theirs. The O Club has a pretty good dance floor and a variety of local bands play there. We generally go to their Wednesday night dances. The crowd there is generally older, but most of them know the at least the fundementals of dance.

Last night, we went to the Valentines Day dance at Studio One. Richard told everyone to where something red that everyone could see. Red undies didn't count. We had a pretty good crowd and everyone brought a dish, so there was lots to eat, too. Richard was in fine form and did the Samba with a couple of different ladies. He can really get that latin motion going.


Tonight, we are going to the Candy Factory. They had scheduled their Valentines Day dance last weekend, but got snowed out. They had a dance last Valentines Day and it was a lot of fun. They have a CD player and the regular dance instructor plays DJ. She has a good selection of dance music and the crowd there is a mix of experienced and novice dancers.
