We enjoyed our "Dirty Dancing" weekend at the Mountain Lake Hotel so much last year that we decided to do it again. We had spoken about our plans to some of our friends that also dance and we ended up a group of us here. With us this weekend are Kathy and Randy, Sharon and Paul, along with Joy and Tony. It's great to be able to share good times.
We left home fairly early and took the scenic route down Route 29. We made a stop at the Burnley Winery. We hadn't been there for several years, but always remember their Spicy Rivanna as one of our favorite wines. The weather was good although we did get a little rain along the way.
We checked into the hotel about 4:00. Everyone had arrived by dinner time. We were seated next to a picture window and were treated with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains complete with a rainbow. There was a bird feeder on the lawn outside the window and several pretty yellow birds who must have had dinner reservations the same time as us.
The dancing began at 8:00 in the Activities Barn. The hotel had put in a new wooden floor since last year. There was a DJ who played all the favorites from the movie along with a good mix of other music. Everyone was having a such a good time that the DJ went over the allotted time so we danced until 11:00.
We slept real well last night.

We really had a great time @ Mountain Lake the location of the movie "Dirty Dancing". What made it special was the fact that there was plenty of dancing, but also the good times spent with friends! Our little dance group included, Steve & Dorris, Randy & Cathy, & Sharon & Paul. The Second Night the DJ played more songs from the movie like the mambo,cha-cha,merengue, swing & waltz. We were also the opening act for the Sapphire Ballroom Dancers! We were applauded when Tony & I performed the Rumba! I also had an opportunity to dance with one of the dancers, Dale. He was a great lead so I was able to follow him in the "Ballroom Sway" Everyone thought I knew what I was doing, but I had no idea how to do it! It goes to show that a good lead will always showcase the woman. I am blessed that Tony is such a great lead! The bottom line is we enjoyed our Dirty Dancing Weekend and I would highly recommend it!
