a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
At one point I had this ridiculous fantasy that I could learn ballroom dancing by buying a video of dance instruction. The video itself is great, and goes through all the different kinds of dancing: 50's and 60's moves, disco, and wedding and latin dancing. It also had videos on how to do line dancing, which I gave to my co-worker who seemed much more interested in them than me. And, by more interested, I mean having any interest.

But the rest of the DVD series is full of gems; for example, there is a whole dvd dedicated to learning to tango and salsa. The only problem is I have no partner with whom to do this, as the people I know are either disinterested entirely, or do not have the time. So, no salsa for me, unless it is on my tostitos. In the disco, thre is also good stuff. For many years as a child, I would hear the song which enjoined us to do the "Hustle." I, however, interpreted this as do the "Bus-stop," which I envisioned to be whatever kind of pacing up and down the street to a mean boogie beat I could do. Now, I can do the real hustle dance, even though, in my mind, it is still the Bus-stop.
