A little bit of swalsa to the live drummer by Build-A-Bear.
South Coast Plaza
A little bit of no music double-time bal by the carousel. A little bit of dancing by the coffee stand.
Lucky Strike – Del Amo Mall
A little bit of Westie, a little bit of double-time bal….
Olive Garden – Downey Stonewood Center
Walked in and swing music was playing. Waiter said it would be a few minutes and the song ends. Then Frank Sinatra’s “I’ve Heard This Song Before” comes on, so Laura puts down her purse and we start dancing (to the amusement of the servers and other guests waiting to be seated. Our waiter arrives and is ready to seat us before the song is over, but they’re willing to wait for the end of the song. Dip, smattering of applause from the servers and then classic Italian music comes on for a while so we eat dinner.
Esplanade – Disneyland
The park closed at 11pm instead of midnight, so after meandering out of the park by way of the bakery, we convinced our friends to join us for some cardio lindy bombing in the Esplanade. Didn’t last very long because of curfews, put it was still very enjoyable.
Esplanade – Disneyland
It was really windy, and we had some time to kill before church so we headed to Disneyland. We danced in the Esplanade and watched as the wind blew over the “Caution Slippery When Wet” cones, making several disparaging comments about where’s a flying nanny when you need one.
The Rat Pack Live At The Sands – Wilshire Theatre Beverly
Danced to the canned, pre-show music before the show, got small smatterings of applause. Big memorable move would have to be the frog leading into cross-breaks/salsa basics that later got worked into our Jeep Jockey Jump solo.
