Ballroom Christmas Carol

The Ballroom Christmas Carol ~ Unknown

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hall
Everything was now ready for old St. Nick's Ball
The bunting was hung by the bandstand with care
In hopes that Duke Ellington soon would be there
My wife in her diamonds and I in my tux
Had just stepped out of our limo deluxe
When from out of the hall the band's tuning I heard
So I hurried us in without one more word
The band was now playing a waltz in strict time
With everyone doing correct fall and climb
A foxtrot next was the bandleader's pick
So everyone started out slow slow quick quick
Of course at all times to leave nothing to chance
All couples observed a strict line of dance
But when West Coast Swing everyone started to hear
They asked each other "Can they do THAT here?"
When the band finally stopped and the music had faded
Among the revelers embraces were traded
And I heard them exclaim as danced out of sight
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

Are you suggesting that if it wasn't for the West Coast Swing, everyone would have left quietly, into the night? :roll: :lol:
 
And where's the latin, the salsa, the fiery passion? Where's the music, the dance that speaks to the soul?

i could have have listed every other dance except AT & my point would be the same; every dance has the capacity to speak to one's soul, despite what incurable salsaholics would have you believe! :)
