Line dancing and swing, my thoughts on both...

So my sister has this... lets call it an obsession, and it is western swing. That's right one night a week the small town of Ephraim holds western swing above their city hall. So every once in a while I get dragged over there with my sister, which isn't so bad cause that is the one place in town you are almost assured to meet a cowboy.... But after so many time of being dragged to western swing I began to make some observations... First on line dancing which they do more than swing dancing-and i'm just going to say that makes no sense I mean it IS called western SWING. Anyway after several weeks of observation I have come to the conclusion that line dancing is of the devil ... okay that's a little harsh but it is evil all the same... they lure you in making the dance look simple so you go up to try. You get up there and you observe peoples steps unaware to the fact that as you are watching peoples feet your are being surrounded by avid line dancers.. finally you decide you cant get the dance and you give up but lo and behold there is no way to escape you are surrounded on all sides by the enemy, you are behind enemy lines and the only way out is to continue to make a fool out of yourself by continuing to attempt doing the dance only half the people around you don't really know the dance so you don't know who to watch to attempt the confusing series of steps... then after all that the turn to your side so you are in front and every one is watching you.. So in short line dancing is evil.. as for swing it is just about the same... you stand against a wall until some poor soul thinks its a good idea to ask you to dance... little do they know you are standing against the wall cause you don't know how to dance. So they take you out to the floor all the while you are trying to convince them you REALLY cannot dance! do they listen? Of course not they just assure you that your really can dance and you must have been delusional until now. So they take you to the dance floor and start just dancing, you follow having no idea whats going on and the only coherent thought in your head is that you wish that his guy would stop spinning you because you are dizzy and as this thought crosses your mind you are in the air in some kind of lift praying this guy knows what he is doing because you sure don't and you sure as heck don't want to be dropped head first to the floor... so in concussion I just want to warn you that if you decide its a good idea to go swing or line dancing be prepared...
