OMG SANDY, I’M KNOWN FOR THIS IN MY TOWN! My daughter is completely traumatized by our visits to the grocery store. “My Sharona” gives her flashbacks.
Back when I was a member of that elite group known as the employed, I often danced down the halls and in the copier/file room. Now I must get my groove on while dancing in line at the bank or dancing down the grocery store aisles. It is FUN!
It would also make trying to avoid other dance/walkers add interest to one’s daily pedestrian activities! Here, I get strange enough looks when I use my little scooter to tootle around town. Kids don’t get a second glance, but somehow not too many, er, slightly elderly people seem to use them! Sadly, they are banned in some of the malls’ parking … DEFINITELY in the actual malls!
Or instead of trying to avoid other dance/walkers, you could partner up for a few steps before you went on your merry way.
Like, do a spin with them and pop them out the other side? Fun!
Exactly!
Started?
Yes, H.E. and I started doing this long ago and now we’re hoping a few more peeps will join the dance/walk revolution. Try it, you just might like it!
I meant some of us can’t start what we’ve already started!
Not sure what I can add to the mix, but I’ll stop by.
Thanks, just saying hi will be enough. I’ll be back to read this probably in the morning.
I love this Sandy. People stare at me anyway, might as well make it entertaining. I need to learn some upper body dance moves though.
I chair dance, too! There are lots of cool upper body dance moves you can do.
I too have gotten the weird looks from dance/walking in public. And never really cared.
HOWEVER, it anyone wants to try this on 5th avenue, there is a very small window on any given day when the sidewalks are that empty.
And woe to the group of tourists/in their own world types that block us hardcore NYers from where we need to go.
Dance on! with caution!
Caution and dancing don’t really go together. Dancing and wild abandon go together. But I’ll refrain from dancing on 5th Avenue and simply enjoy a danish in front of Tiffany’s ala Audrey Hepburn the next time I’m on 5th Avenue.
A few years ago at work I was walking for a walk on my walk, and came across some chick on her break rollerskating. Except she wasn’t rollerskating, she was rollerboogiestepping. Like, doing these dance moves with her skates. And they were the old school four wheel NOT in line skates, too. While listening to some kind of MP3 speaker thing, blasting something funky. I don’t know what possessed her to do that, but I stepped with her for a couple of blocks.
She was getting her groove on and perhaps practicing for an old school disco skate competition. It’s always cool to see people so into having fun and enjoying the moment that they don’t care how anyone else might perceive them.
I think she was stoned. Like, literally stoned. Not that this would interfere with work where I work.
Florida is gonna take some time. How is it?
We have been having fabulous weather these last few weeks and I am taking advantage of it though I know it is just a matter of time before I must turn on the AC. I need to to some more work on my landscaping before the summer hits.
How many dudes are you dating right now? You studdess.
Just a couple of friends with benefits as the kids like to refer to it.
Nice – health insurance is pretty important.
ha ha!
Yes, it is!
And meat, also.
This is epic!!! On my to do list for tomorrow for sure!!! What a wonderful thing and a great inspirational video!
It is fun to do and fun for everyone who watches you do it.
Have you done it…it looks like such a blast! I re=posted it on my FB!
I have been known to dance down the hallways where I used to work, as well as in the grocery store and the ALF where I volunteer, although I don’t always have ear buds in my ears. I can easily dance to the music I hear in my head! Thanks for the reposting.
I now have a plan to add to my bucket list, a short video of one of us dancing in whatever new city we are in.
Hmm…I’m intrigued…
Great plan eh!! I surprised myself on that one, pure genius I would say. lol
If you happen to be in Las Vegas in another week, you just might catch me dance/walking down the strip!
I await the video with great anticipation
Awesome!
A great post for my Monday morning. My wife catches me doing ballroom steps in stores or while conversing.
I’ve been known to do a few tango steps in stores, too.
This is always fun – it used to be just drama kids – but life is a stage production – might as well dance! Great idea
One can never dance often enough!
I love the older gentleman getting down to Eminem…
I liked that old guy, too! You never can tell someone’s musical preferences just by looking at them.

Cool – another dance/walk aficionado!
I can read this later, but will you stop by this blog and say hi. It is a blog flash mob. http://edwardhotspur.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/hotspur-without-a-net/#comment-10982
