We danced the slow ones….
whenever we could and wherever we could.
You needed that slow dance moment-or the whole evening was for nothing.
If you are dancing like the photo below, you are definitely not slow dancing.
One always had to be ready for a song like “Unchained Melody” or a Steve Perry song.
And hopefully…with someone who didn’t talk about some other guy the whole time.
The first time being careful not to step on her toes.
Learning to tip-toe back and forth like a pendulum on a clock.
Eventually we I got better.
My dance options expanded and I learned that these moments were not just reserved for High School Gyms or a dance hall.
The slow dances taught me some things along the way and gave some valuable life long lessons.
Slow down, enjoy, listen, reach out….the music doesn’t last forever.
I love your line, ” the music doesn’t last forever.” so true

Yes! The barn is a great place. How about in the rain……….
