Living Room Dance

When I lived in a house full of girls, and in the college dorm, we would sometimes have what we called "a living room dance." Everyone would get out their favorite songs, and we would, quite unabashedly, dance around the room. One memorable time, I was able to lead a very smoothly choreographed group of back-up singers in Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up is Hard to Do." It is still spoken of with reverence. I also once pulled off a perfectly timed leap from chair to floor with a downward guitar strum on the Tina Turner/Bryan Adams tune "It's only Love." Applause echoed through the dorm hallways.
The beauty of the Living Room Dance, is that you don't bother with any songs that you don't like, and your really belt out the ones you do. It is also acceptable to put on the same song several times. Restarting a song because you have thought of a good move or more importantly wish to change the imaginary audience, is also acceptable. The Living Room dance can also be done alone, in fact, I think its origins are there. It comes from the great desire to dance and sing and imagine yourself the center of attention. It is a good sign when you want to do a living room dance. It speaks of a surplus of energy and excitement.
I'm off to do a living room dance right now.
Thank goodness.
