Slow Songs

Good morning y'all.

who watched the opening ceremonies last night? They were wild! I bet my director, Mrs.Latimer, loved it. It was a little weird for my taste. the end part where the one ring to rule them all rose to the sky and linked with the others was cool, and oh yeah, the 100 ft tall Lord Voldemort was definitely the highlight.

We missed the rest of the ceremony because we went to a church dance.

which was AWESOME by the way.

not enough people come to dances.

do you want to hear a rant about dancing?

okay good cause i'm about to give you one.

Reasons why you need to play twice as many slow songs:

1) the more there are, the less awkward they become. the first slow song of the night usually means hat like, ten couples will awkwardly swaying from side to side. but with each slow song, more and more people gather up the courage to ask someone to be their partner. and when they rationalize: 'okay, next slow song. next slow song, i got this! I'll ask her next slow song'...it actually gives them a chance to ask.

2) it gives a nice break in between fast songs. if the whole dance is crazy dubsteb music,  then everyone is sweaty and tired by ten o clock. having a slow down every couple songs gives everyone a chance to cool down, breathe and spread out over the whole dance floor instead of moshing in the middle for four hours. 

3) you meet new people! this sounds cliche.  but i'm not just talking about meeting your future spouse. calm down, melissa. It's great to meet a lot of different friends. when you ask some one to dance, you have roughly two and a half minutes of their hopefully undivided attention to make a good impression, get to know all the basics of the person and maybe even impress her with a twirl during a lull in conversation. and the more slow songs you have, the more people you meet. it increases your people skills, guys! 

no matter how awkward they may be at first, slow songs are good, guys.

church dances are good, guys.
