i need to learn how to dance....

so i'm at this bar last night with some friends for blues night, and it was a great time. there's a house band and in "open mic night" style, people can come in and play / jam with the house band all night. there are some regulars who frequent this place for the dancing including a friend of mine, laura. the regulars were sitting in the corner and i wouldn't be suprised if every one of them had driven straight to the bar from a staw wars convention in their "Geek Squad" VW's. the music started and i found myself tapping my foot and thinking "i can't dance, but from the looks of things, i don't have much competition either". heh, false start. this geeky, overweight guy comes over and asks my friend laura to dance. she says yes and they get their groove on. this guy looked as graceful and well timed as any great dancer i had ever seen. he led, she followed, and i think "damn this guy is smooth". he might as well have been james bond, and after dancing, base jumped off the balcony into his BMW. it was sick, and just as i'm thinking this, my buddy says "man, i gotta learn how to dance!!" no words had ever rang (rung?) more true. when i get onto the dancefloor i ought to be wearing one of those foam helmets the slow kids wear on the short bus as i have 9 left feet. this guy was gene kelly reincarnated and it is just another point in case that you should never judge a book by it's cover.....
