Jam packed week: dancing, concerts & ring-tone-ing ears

My last unofficial week of summer has been jam packed with line dancing, country music, and little rest.

Line Dancing

It started on Tuesday when I met some friends & they took me to a new place line dancing. I have been hearing about it for years but never made the trip. Adelphia's in Depford, NJ has country night with dancing & $2 ML bottles, cheers! Who needs beer when you're like me though... I fell getting out of my friend's truck on the way there. Yeah, somehow I got my leg stuck between the step-side & truck hahaha. There was no cover and it's a nice place. The crowd was pretty small but that's not always a bad thing. I heard the crowd multiplies when they bring in the mechanical bull. The line dances were up to date and there is room off to the sides for swing dancing. I saw a few couples doing the West Coast Swing (one of my favorite dances to watch). The light-up dance floor was a little on the slippery side... it looks like the same floor they have at Boogie Nights at Resorts in Atlantic City. There was a girl there giving lessons... the couples learned Lorrie's Cha Cha. I'd go back if I had other plans that conflicted w. my Wednesday & Friday line dancing, but not in addition to nor instead of my favorite fire house in Scullville or my beloved honky tonk in Mount Laurel. It was quite a haul (1½ hours on a work-night) &I didn't make it home until 2 a.m.. It can definitely satisfy the random Tuesday night urge for some country dancing though!

More Line Dancing

Wednesday night I headed up to the Scullville Fire House for some line dancing. Dan Good, a reporter from The Press of Atlantic City was there to do a story that ran in today's life section, "There's no pressure here, just a need to dance" . The photographer came in to take photos. Every time I saw that shiny black lens out of my peripheral vision, I would get all nervous, forget the steps, crack up, and walk off the dance floor. I suppose part of the distraction can be attributed to the 3 hours of missing sleep from the night before. Nevertheless, I'm candid-camera shy to say the least! Anyway, Debbie taught the line dance Chatahoochie from quite a few years ago. It's a vintage one I need to add to the list.

Some Line Dancing & A Concert

zbb-1  
Thursday night, I was quite excited to see the Zac Brown Band play at Prospector's. The doors opened at 6, we got there at 7... but the band came on at about 9:30.
We were going to grab something to eat and maybe do a little line dancing but kindly, the Thursday night DJ calls out different dances than the Friday night DJ. If you've seen my list of line dances, you too would wonder how I sat in amazement of how few dances I either knew or could tolerate... and the same 5 or 6 were played 2 or 3 times each. Food... we wanted some appetizers but when we asked for the menu, they told us we had to leave the night club and go to the dining room or the saloon to eat (* good to know, that's the case for all their band nights*). We got some food next door and came back for another line dance attempt before Zac Brown Band came onstage. Line Dance girl with Zac Brown Band
Zac Brown Band Foundations CDThe band was fantastic! If you missed them, you missed some really good live music. Most of the music they played was their own, while they tossed in a little "Devil went down to GA" cover. ZBB had me cracking up with the song, "Sic 'em on a chicken". I've gotta mention the fiddle player tore it up! I picked up their Foundation cd, which they signed for me :) . I've been playing it quite a bit! I really enjoyed the show!

Friday night of rest

I couldn't justify going line dancing on Friday night... still had to catch up from Tuesday & Thursday nights' lack of sleep. I stayed in & made ringtones as I let my body rest for Saturday's Brad Paisley show. I made "Toes" and "Chicken Fried" as my new Zac Brown Band ringtones and "I'll Take You Back" and "Out in The Parking Lot" as my new Brad Paisley ones :) Yeah, in a nutshell... if you have a mac

  1. Pick out a good song (that won't make you cringe in the grocery store line or Dr. office)
  2. Crop the part of the song you want to use in Garage Band (10-15 seconds-ish)
  3. Export it to itunes --> convert it to an MP3
  4. Bluetooth it to your phone
  5. on my EnV2, I had to send the sound to myself (& a couple friends)... open the message and options--> save as a ringtone.

I found the little tutorial on creating your own ringtones with Garage Band. Anyway, that was my Friday.

Brad Concert

Brad Paisley 8/30/08
Saturday was Brad-day! The Brad Paisley w. Julianne Hough, Jewel, and Chuck Wicks show was in Camden. It turned out to be a fantastic day! We got up there a little early to BBQ. Everything went smoothly & I even ran into a few friends I hadn't seen in years. It was a good time! The weather held out for us. I brought a pair of jeans to change into before the show so I got in my truck to change. I didn't think anyone would notice but a nearby tailgater walked right up to my window and started talking to me through the window. I put my clothes over my lap and made him turn around while I finished changing. Talk about first impressions! LOL. We went on into the show and had a good ol' time, sans the stolen cooler from my truck bed when we came out. Nonetheless, a great day!

What could be better than an afternoon in the sun with friends and live country music? Well, Brad singing "Better than this" humorously added a little touché.

Dance floor Do's & Don'ts - Line Dance Etiquette

Saloon

the RANT: {post inspiration}  picture story-telling hands flying around

Over the years I've had some "1-dance wonders...  "

Two Stepping encounter with Control Freak #1
One guy asked me to Two-Step early in the night. It is really kinda rude to turn down a dance without a good reason so of course I accepted. We started off in the normal two-step position where the man's right hand is high on my back and left hand grasping mine, my left hand on his right shoulder. All started well until the first time he took me out of spinning & the side by side step back to the basic position. That was where he pissed me off pretty badly. I understand that some men dance like this but Dude had his hand all up in my neck (not my upper back) and I was having no part of it. I don't know who gave him permission to come close to my neck but it sure as heck wasn't me! So, I am the woman and am supposed to be following but he's about to get left on the dance floor solo so I politely put my arm up inside his in an attempt to push his arm back to my back again... Dude looked at me like I had 6 heads! I was pissed!!! The smile is gone and he's not moving his hand, so I drop my left hand all together so I am only half-way holding onto his hand, left hand dangling and thank God it wasn't a long song because I was not a happy camper... like at all!

Two Stepping encounter with Control Freak #2
After being annoyed by the last couple's dance, I started doing some line dances. I was on my 6th or 7th dance in a row & was so tired I went to sit mid-song. As I reach my seat, another dude asks me to dance. I was out of breath, sweaty, thirsty & tired so I paused to think about my response... He interrupts my pause with an offended, "Yes, the answer is yes!" as he pulled me onto the dance floor. Well, that 1/2 a song will also be the last dance I do with him indefinitely.

El Paso encounter with Control Freak #3
I was out and there was a new handsome dancer out. I must admit, I was excited when he asked me to dance because he was cute! Well, it took about 13 seconds to realize he wasn't getting danced with again. I believe we were dancing the El Paso & he was throwing in variations (nothing new to me BTW). He started with a nice little spin, tightly grasping my wrist to stop my well under control spin. Then he yanked on my arms to force me into some variation that didn't even fit with the music and continued to "teach me" the El Paso by telling me to stand up straighter because it looks like the man is leading. I had some news for him, the El Paso was the first dance I learned back in Cape May when I was 15 years old, I have perfectly good posture dancing and JackA$$ himself could have used a pointer or two about leading, grace & rhythm.
Dancing aside, we were chatting when he proceded to tell me how he is a state trooper in a nearby state. I got to hear a lovely story about how he pulled over some hot girl and she was drunk but he didn't give her a DWI - followed with you're cute, you can drink & make it home without getting a ticket when he saw me drinking water. And I seriously wonder sometimes...?!

Lorrie's Cha Cha encounter with Tiny Dancer #1
A boob-height guy asked me to do Lorrie's Cha-Cha. It is my favorite dance so I accepted his invitation. All I've got to say is I don't want to have to duck when you spin me! This may be me being picky but in all seriousness... If you're not tall enough to reach your arm over my head, just don't bother asking me to dance at all. I don't want to leave the floor with a stiff neck. Ok, that's all.

Two-stepping with Mr. Vom
This one takes the cake! I was approached by an old man wearing some NJ Transit uniform to two step. The old man seemed harmless so I accepted & we began to two step. We didn't make it around the first corner when I noticed a putrid smell. I don't know what the guy ate for dinner but my gag reflex was going. I turned my head sharply to avoid this onion odor protruding from him. I'm not sure if the guy saved half a hoagie in his pocket or what but he almost got puked on! 
This dance inspired me to ignore the courtesy dance etiquette of always accepting a dance.


the COURTESY: 

On the Floor: Lead, Follow or Watch out!

dance-floor-ettiquette

COUPLES & LINE DANCERS UNITE

  1. In the New Jersey and other areas of the Northeast, country dance floors have sections (but not as many as the south).
  2. Typically, the couples dance around the outside of the dance floor counterclockwise while line dancers stay in the middle.
  3. Swing dancers will usually find an area to get their swing on off to an open area in the center. ...
    • Hello... just some common sense here. If you're dancing in a lane, the couples can't get through, you'll likely get run over & the same goes for couples dancing all up in the center of the floor.
  4. Remember the floor is for everyone.
  5. Those dancing around the outside lane have the right of way. Don't block their progress
  6. If possible start another line rather than join a crowded one that'll block the outside lanes

OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT

  1. When visiting other clubs allow the regulars to be first on the floor & join in the dance they're doing... that is unless there's plenty of room to begin a different dance
  2. While venturing out to a new place... don't tell the regulars they're doing a dance wrong or to the wrong song. This rule goes for both line & couples dances. If you're out of your element and in a new dance spot... embrace the variation! When in Rome...

NEW DANCERS

  1. DO Be courteous of newbies
  2. DON'T "show off" in front of beginners
    • Constantly changing or adding steps & turns will confuse them
  3. DON'T change steps during dance lesson
  4. DO try to be helpful to newbies
  5. DON'T stop dancing to teach someone the steps on the dance floor.
    • If you want to help, take them to a quiet, unoccupied corner of the floor or room

THE STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW ALREADY

  1. If you bump into anyone, DO apologize whether it is your fault or not.
  2. If you accidentally spill someone's drink, DO replace it straight away
  3. DO always be courteous to other dancers on the floor.
  4. DON'T take a cowboy's hat! Girls, don't forget that asking to wear a cowboys hat is massive flirtation!

DANCING WITH COMMON SENSE

  1. Have a partner? DO Make sure that both your first & last dance is with that person!
  2. Common courtesy also dictates that if you see a lady without a partner you should, as they said in the old days,DO "mark her card" & take the floor with her!
  3. Guy's if you want to dance with someone else's date or partner, DO ask if they mind before you ask her to dance.
  4. If you do dance with a different partner, DON'T walk away from them after the dance has ended. Always walk them back to their seat
  5. Ladies... can't get a partner to dance with? DON'T be too picky. If a cowboy asks you to dance, then dance with him. Once the men see you can & will dance, they'll ask
  6. If the floor is crowded, DO take smaller steps to avoid bumping into someone next to you
  7. DON'T start a different dance, unless there is plenty of room and you sense it's okay
  8. When starting off the dance, DO go to the front so that others can fall in behind you

DANCE FLOOR RESPECT

  1. No standing on the dance floor. DON'T stay on the floor to talk - if the music has started, leave the floor to chat
  2. Don't wear spurs on the dance floor.
  3. Don't use the dance floor for a pathway to the other side of the bar.
  4. Don't cross the dance floor if a dance is in progress or about to begin, walk around the edge
  5. DO Keep your drinks, food & gum off the floor. It's no fun dancing on a sticky or buckled floor, with gum on a boot, or beer on your clothes!
