WAWC - Winter Ball

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

Oh, you are such a gentleman, Ben.

It's not a party until there's a zoot suit!

 

 

I'll gladly help you out with dancing with all these ladies Ben.  I could even take a moment and teach you all some swing dancing.  I used to teach and compete in dancing competitions.

[Gentled Ben]

Great suit, and a great color! Swing dancing sounds fun, but I'm old. Can we start with something slow?

 

 

I actually really like that song. I love the initial riff, and I really like the part where it changes at about the 2 minute mark. The Grateful Dead must have liked it too, because they stole it for Terrapin Station.

So, anyone feel like going a bit older style? Virginia Reel perhaps?

[Mashiara Sedai]

You'll have to demonstrate, Dar'Jen.  I don't know the Virginia Reel....

 

Kukaso and I can do a two-hand Irish jig if you all would like.  :D

We used to do the Virginia Reel in elementary school. I was terrible at it!

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

One of my favorite dances from years of Civil War Reenacting.

 

As long as I get twirled around, I'm willing to try any dance.

[Gentled Ben]

Teach it to us!

Her nickname was GoddessBlue. She even had your initials :D

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

The dancing bear is so cute.

[Gentled Ben]

It's a Grateful Dead bear.

[Sooh]

Yeah, that seems up her alley lol.

Somehow I never expected dapper and trash to ever be used in the same sentence.

Here is a reel!

 

[Gentled Ben]

Nice! That was a fun dance!

[Rhea]

Thanks for coming!
