Dance, Dance, Dance

Well yesterday ended our five days of fun at the Dance Explosion 2015 at the Westgate Hotel. Every day was packed full of dance classes, music playing all day, dancing and laughing with good friends.
2 of the 5 days the dancers were able to take part of a huge flash mob in the lobby....with more than 1400 dancers we pretty much owed that hotel.
Friday night we were offered tickets to a special showing of the Prince Tribute show and so Ronna and I took them up on the offer. The show was great! the music was great and so much fun, this guy gets the entire crowd up on their feet dancing...as if we hadn't already danced 8 hours that day LOL.
I am already looking forward to next year's explosion, if you love music and line dancing you gotta go.

The event starts at 9 am everyday and if you are a die hard the parties go on until the wee hours of the morning. They have thought of pretty much everything...on Sunday morning they have a Sunday service with minister that does about a 3 minute mini sermon and then everybody learns a line dance to a gospel song, then another little sermon and more dancing... and it goes on like this for a full hour, it was quite beautiful to see everyone connecting.

 Winding down with a nice glass of wine makes for a perfect week!

Day 1 of 5

 Yesterday kicked off the 5 day 5 night Line Dance Explosion. With over 1,400 dancers that signed up it IS EXPLOSIVE. What a fun first day. Dancers from all over the world, Asia, Iceland, England, Ireland ...well it is apparent that we are all the same all over the world. Line dancing is a big big connection for all of us, and it feels so good just to be out dancing with so many from all over the world especially in lieu of what is going on in Paris and other countries.
Here we go Day 2 ..dance, dance, dance.

BBF.s ...really still great friends after all these years

I had two of my best friends visit from California this weekend, I have known them both for 45 plus years. We have been through pretty much everything together...our first of just about everything you can think of ... first boyfriends, jobs, marriages, kids and yes divorces and we have stayed true friends all these years, we can just pick up right where we left off. Had such a fun great weekend from brunching, bingo, The Jersey Boys, drinking, laughing and lots and lots of jewelry making. Thanks you guys for another fantastic weekend ...can't wait to meet up in San Diego next ....I feel a concert coming on soon.
