This week we went twice to the Officers Club at Fort Belvoir. We generally like to go on Wednesday night when they have a buffet and dancing from 6:00 to 9:00. The crowd is generally older and mostly have the basics down of ballroom dance. They know about line of dance and you can even recognize some steps. There are a couple of couples that seem to be able to take one particular step and adapt it to any beat, but these are in the minority. They had a vocalist Wednesday night. The good thing about a vocalist is that the music will have a consistency to it. Sometimes with a live band the tempo will change throughout a dance. It can be disconcerting if the beat changes from a cha-cha to a rhumba to a bolero and back again all in one song.
Friday, we had an out-of-town visitor so we went back to the O Club. We wanted a place to visit. At a regular resturant they want you to eat and go. Friday night at the O Club is Seafood Buffet and they expect people to hang around to eat and dance. They had a band that was new to us on Friday night. They are named Private Stock and played country-rock. We got to dance a couple of swings.
