Let's Dance!
Disco.
It's alive. Anyone wanna go dancing?
I am sorry. I bought the new Madonna CD "Confessions on a Dancefloor" and just feel like dancing...
In my younger days, I was a bit of a dance club queen. I went to nightclubs, rarely drank and just danced, danced, danced. Usually before anyone was drunk (or brave enough) to get out there and shake their bodies, I was out there just jumping around and having fun. I had no shame but mostly because I was this most awesomely energetic and brilliant dancer. (Perhaps I should have been in music videos however, as everyone knows dancers are pretty petite and I think that my height always had me at a disadvantage.)
I started to think lately about why I didn't do that anymore.
Could it be that I wasn't as sinewy as I had been in my 20s or was it because it is expected that older people shouldn't go to dance clubs. Seems to me the last time I went, it was full of young bar stars that frowned upon experience and maturity. I suppose that when I was younger, I would have reacted the same way if some 40-something woman ventured into a club so I don't judge. However, I have begun to think that it's time for those thoughts to end and clubs open up to all people regardless of age, sex, sexuality or cultural background.
Let's all dance!
That is why I have decided to start venturing out to these places again. No longer will I hang out at just the gay clubs because they are comfortable and non-threatening to me. I am gonna have fun.
I've seen interviews with the likes of Cindy Lauper and Madonna who are vibrant and amazing women and if they can be young, so can the rest of us. Let's be inspired and inspiring at the same time in that we have experience but can still learn so much. I am going to get out the glitter eyeshadow (which by the way, I have started wearing in daylight hours) and dance, dance, dance. Can I convince you to do the same?
The one down side to this is that most of the clubs in this city suck. However, if inspiration is on my mind then surely that can be used to create some decent clubs.
Have a great day and don't forget to dance.
Note: For those of you who imagined that I had a much darker and less superficial side, you are safe in your thoughts. I am also a closet goth. Unfortunately, I hate to be "pigeon-holed" into a particular classification. I just let life take me where it will and have ended up in going into some very interesting directions.
