So I did it. I did what I said I would never do. I went to the dreaded dance. Despite the fact that Curious Georgie had an awful experience at her first time, she is the one who FYI'd me to dances here in Utah called "Dee's Dances." I had asked other people and they had said they were indeed better than church dances, so when my girlfriend from my ward asked me to go I was somehow willing to go check it out. So here's my review. Keep in mind, I did go with very low expectations.
- The dance itself was outside at trolley square. Great Atmosphere is always a plus.
- I personally didn't like the DJ because I thought he played too much R&B/hip hop vs rock and country and it just isn't' my style. Maybe people don't care or don't appreciate the art of dancing like I do.
- The food was good (most men commented to me how good it was so this must be a factor in why they choose Dee's Dances over Church sponsored) and nothing to complain about. Costco shoppers for sure.
- The price is $9. I thought this was a little expensive but I am known to be cheap and haven't paid for dancing entertainment in many many of years. After all, it's not a cultural hall.
- Plenty of people attended and every woman would have had the opportunity to dance and enough people were there that you didn't get to check out the majority.
- Age was all over the map. I was definitely on the younger side and 65 was the higher side. Fit in that average in between....it's perfect.
I danced with of course.....tons of weirdos. Plenty of characters to compete with all the horror stories I've heard from others. There were a handful of cute men. Tons of normal men....and three handfuls of 'certifyables' (these were my dancing partners). Would I go again? Sure, but I would definitely go with the same expectations of not meeting anyone. So if you don't mind dancing with strange characters and just like to get out and boogie. It's perfect for you. Take some girlfriends and go.
My next thing to conquer.............The horrid church dance.
