Dance Parties!

Dancing!

Probably one of THE best pastimes to partake in is the wonderful thing known as a dance party.

I absolutely LOVE dancing, I danced for 17 years... however to partake in a dance party you really need no dancing skills once so ever, in fact sometimes it is more fun to have no background in dancing to do this wonderful thing.

So what is a dance party? Well let me tell you: For a dance party it is best to have at least a couple of other friends with you or maybe just one other friend and it is pretty wonderful if you pick out a happy or fast beat song to dance to.

During dance parties it is great fun when you make up dance moves. One of the best things about dance parties is that you can look silly while dancing and no one will judge you, in fact that makes it way more fun!

So why have a dance party? Well for starters it is incredibly fun but it can also be a great stress reliever. At the beginning of camp last summer my partner that worked with my for the high school programming at camp and I were stuck in the office a lot at the beginning of camp. So him, one of my bosses, and myself  decided that we needed a bit of a break everyday or a bit of a stress reliever and we started having what we called our "5:00 dance party". At 5:00 every day we played a song and danced away, it was our fun break for the day.

We carried our dance parties on and off throughout the summer with various people from camp. This was a tradition that I brought back to school. Every so often when I get tired of doing homework or am having a bad day I will just play a happy song and announce to my roommates "it's dance party time" and we will have a dance party.

It is so fun to watch peoples dance moves and different styles and to just take a few minutes break away from the normal to have fun and dance. So for you bored people that are sitting there reading this blog, you should probably stand up, turn on a song, and start dancing!
