The "Dancey Dancers'" Spring Formal


Last weekend, we enjoyed a celebration of sorts. Jane Ellen, the Elf, with several friends, has enjoyed bi-monthly fellowship: Friday evenings with the Dancey Dancers Dance Club (quite a mouthful!). A brother and sister team taught ballroom dancing to seven other "couples" (which were mostly siblings, cousins and ocassionally just "friends"). What fun these kids had. Wish I'd gone to the lessons just for the laughs they shared!

The culmination of their classes was a Spring Formal Dance. The teens did all of the planning, decorating, and food prep. They even helped their old moms and dads (and younger siblings) learn a dance step or two. We gathered for a nice supper out at a local restaurant and then spent a pleasant evening dancing the Waltz, the Salsa, the Fox Trot, the Tango...and just for fun, the Virginia Reel.



Thanks to Rachel and Joel for a fun year of cuttin' the rug....(and thanks to the professional team at "Day" Care for babysitting!).

What a great event!! You Browns are so trendy...what with the recent popularity of ballroom dancing thanks to Dancing with the Stars and all. Looks like you had a great time! Why can't we have that kind of fun up here in Ohio???
