As my husband’ business conference started to wind down on a Thursday night, the attendees and their significant others began shedding  their business mentality and moving into a more relaxed state.  We all sat around in the slightly awkward Monkey Bar, the drinks poured for everyone around me, and Mr. DJ played some typical early hour music .   After a couple hours of the smooth cocktails and “Get Down Tonight”, people were moving furniture out into the hall and shaking their “junk in the trunk” to Pharrell’s “Happy” !   As I sat back and watched (and jumped in to my favorite songs every now and then), I realized how dancing is such a sense of freedom.  People from all walks of life were  just singing and dancing to  “playing that funky music white boy” and “She hit the floor”!  As a watched (and chuckled at some including my husband), I realized several drinks and the perfect wedding reception portfolio of dance songs creates the perfect cocktail of self-confidence!  You forget where you are, who you are with, and your age.   You might as well be at a college frat party strutting the dance floor to “Dancing Queen” because you are the dancing queen for this party!  So, as Lee Ann Womack’s lyric go, “if you have a chance to sit it out or dance” at your next activity, “I hope you dance!” Yea, your back may hurt in the morning, but the fun (and stories to tell) you will have!
