WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

So I (used to) think I can dance

Posted about 1 year ago

Awhile back my wife and I took a ballroom dance class, and I learned that I while I thought I had rhythm, I really didn't. My wife, on the other hand, is blessed with many talents such as music, rhythm, pitch, etc. However, patience is not one of them, so it was left to a grandmotherly figure in our class to help me get the cha-cha steps just right.

Anyhow, we progressed to the tango, which was described as originating in the slums of Buenos Aires, and clearly full of passion. Having barely obtained some confidence in my foxtrot and cha-cha, my tango was a bit rough.

Fastfoward to today with my weekly latte habit, and a certain coffee bean purveyor's marketing of free music weekly via iTunes cards. The ratio of good to bad is poor, until I hit the jackpot with the video version of Bajofondo's Pa'Bailar.

Check out the new Electro Tango....

    Damn, it sure makes you feel like dancing!  He'd be great to invite to a party.

    My sister tried to teach me to dance once. She gave up. Luckily, she still talks to me...

    I am now married, as of Nov. 28, and my wonderful fellow has mentioned taking dancing lessons with me at some point.  I think it will be great, even if we aren't any good.  I will let you know.
