I decided to go to a dance last night it was a good decision. I knew several of the women who attended and danced with a few. What surprised me was how many single and married women were there without partners, of the 50 or more women at the dance only 4 or 5 men including myself attended. Several men had partners or wives but all the dancers were primarily women who liked to dance but had no one to dance with but their girl friends. Times have changed over the years when many men went to dances single in hopes of meeting a compatable woman. I was reminded of my teenage years at dances I attended when girls were overwhelmingly the majority in attendence and males had a choice of one or many to dance with. That was similar to last night, with the exception of our ages. Most of the the women last night were over sixty years old, but still danced with happy feet and broad smiles dancing to the rock and rolling beats. It was great fun and especially with a dear friend who was attending with her husband asked me for a dance and we jitterbugged our way around the dancefloor.
Last night I was introduced to eight or 10 different women of between the ages of 50 to 75 and felt grateful for all their smiles and happy talk with me and sharing a few great dance songs. The DJ played the best 60s and 70s rock and roll music and dance tunes. Everyone enjoyed the music. I Am grateful I went to the dance and got out of my selfconsiousness as an older “gentleman” who hadn’t engaged in dancing for many years, to realize I still kept a good beat, attracted women, and remembered many old dancesteps. One of my enthusiastic younger dance partners, wearing leopard skin high heals, complimented me on how good a dancer I was. My advice to all is to keep on dancing if you can or at least enjoy the music.
