Bill Nye the Swing Dance Guy

We found a place in Pasadena that has big band swing dancing every Thursday evening and since I love to dance, Jay and I headed over there with our new friends Seth and Jane. It's held at a Masonic Temple and the people in charge teach swing lessons and then have DJs play music until midnight. We missed most of the lesson which made our dancing not quite as swingin' as we would've liked, but we had a good time. Not only did we get to dance (which I love to do) we also saw Bill Nye, The Science Guy, tearing up the dance floor. I had no idea that Bill Nye could move like that! We've decided to give dancing a try once a month (because I love to dance- did I already mention that?), and I hope we get to share the dance floor with the famous TV scientist again.

I never would have thought that Bill Nye would be tearing up a dance floor! I would have loved to see that. Did he explain how he made his moves so smokin' to the crowd afterwards?

I wish my husband would take me dancing. I'm afraid he's got 2 left feet ;(
I can't believe you saw Bill Nye - he's like one of my heroes. That's so totally cool!!! Wait till I tell the kids at school.

How fun that you saw Bill Nye. I have such a hard time picturing him swing dancing! Maybe someday Jeff and I will take some dance classes together so we can go dancing. I sure miss it!

Brian is jealous that you saw one of his TV heros. I am jealous of you going dancing. Brian and I wanted to take dance lessons together which we were going to do once we were both out of YM & YW but that didn't happen until after Ellie came along so now we will have to wait until she is a little older so we don't have to pay a sitter and Brian is out of the Spanish Branch (although there will probably always be something). I am glad you are keeping your New Year's resolution.

I'm so glad you were feeling better and got to go! Did you see Bill Nye speak at USU? He's funny. Now that I try to imagine it, I can totally picture him as a dance machine! How hilarious! (Oh, and we're back as of 3 am last night! We're all TIRED! Hope to see you soon!!!)
