Summer of Fun
July 2, 2010
The weather in the South of England is gloriously hot and seems ready to stay that way for the rest of the summer. So shades on, cover up well if you’re sun sensitive, and set up the garden gazebo – for it’s time to get out and play.
I’ve noticed over the past few months a growing desire for dancing, my body suggesting that it likes to explore rhythm and movement. So Soleira and I signed up for Salsa lessons, and I practice away early in the morning and just before bed.
Fun is sure on my mind. Let’s have fun. At the end of a recent teleclass, I was impelled to tell someone to get out onto the streets and have a party. You know, along the lines of the T-Mobile ads, where a big group of people spontaneously (orchestrated) burst into action. [see below]
A summer of fun is definitely brewing and now … here is my contribution to edge it along. So sing along in your best disco party voice, and see if you have the energy to jiggle for several rounds of it.
“Take To The Streets”
Dance, dance, don’t wait for a chance – to show us all your moves!
Dance, dance, without a glance to see if we’re in the groove.
For when you’re on fire and a sparkling
And your hips are a jiggling and shaking
Then there’s nothing can stop you from having
The most fabulous time of your life.
So take to the streets, and show us the beat,
That sets our bodies a moving,
And show us your power
On the beat every hour
Cos’ we’re here for the whole of the night …
Cos’ we’re here for the rest of our life.
