The Last Regal Dinner Dance

Tonight marked a sad milestone. We went to the very last dinner dance with the Regal Dinner and Dance Club at the Country Club of Fairfax. The Regal has held dances since 1998. Usually 7 dances a year. It's been a great place to show off our steps and meet with friends. The club fell victim of a new pricing structure at the Country Club and membership attrition.

We've always had fun at these events and we're sorry to see them go.

Regal Dance

We attended a dinner dance last night at the Country Club of Fairfax with the Regal Dinner and Dance Club. It is always fun to get dressed up and go dancing with friends. We've never had a bad meal at the CCF either.

People approach dancing in different ways. We know some dancers for whom dance lessons are an end in themselves. They take a lot lessons, sometimes several a week, but hardly every go dancing. On the other hand, we take lessons so we can go dancing. We generally go out dancing on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We take our lesson on Monday's and try to practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some people go to the gym; we dance.

I saw this cartoon today and it really struck home. We used to be like this. Come home from work, sit in front of the "boob tube", usually with a bag of chips, and go to bed. Dancing is the most fun that two people can have while remaining vertical.
