TO MARTY

To the first man (in a year of living here) in Cincinnati who was brave enough to come ask me to two step... THANK YOU!!!

I hate that the culture in this city has made it ok to create line-dances to songs you would never line dance to (hello!!! they line danced to Usher...) in order that you would never have to talk to someone you don't know.

Country dancing was developed to be a mixer, for strangers to get to know each other and lovers to get closer... not push each other away. The beautiful thing about 2 stepping and other country couple dancing is that you don't have to be attracted to the person you are dancing with... sometimes its just nice to walk out there and go "short short LOOONG short short LOOONG" no matter who it is with.
