Why I love awkward YSA dances...

So last night I went to a regional church Young Single Adult dance. It took place in an airport hanger, which, i have to admit is supper cool!! but as I walked about looking at my friends and strangers from all over western Washington, there were a few things that made me chuckle and flinch at the same time. The first thing, that i think is supper awkward is the circle. For some reason, everyone likes to form little circles to dance in all over the floor. this does not make meeting new people very easy, and it makes dancing super awkward because everyone is watching everyone else in the group. The biggest thing i notice though, was the amount of just flat out wacky dancing that goes on. in order to get attention and to have fun. well, it was sweaty and smelly with all those people in circles, and the circles kept bumping into each other, and brave or stupid people would go to the center to dance in them, and not usually dance well. i felt slightly awkward about it. then someone told me i was a great dancer, and i just had to think, do they mean I actually am, or do they mean what i sometimes mean when i say that to people at dances like this- you are really super brave to come out in public and dance like that. ha ha! there were a lot of awkward conversations with strangers for my friends that got super too personal as well. I love these dances, because they provide so much entertainment and things to think about, but I hate dancing at them, because the music isn't usually concussive to good dancing, except line dances. gotta love those. =) can't wait for the next one. well, maybe I can. ALSO- there was a man there that could be a double for Edward Cullen, except he wasn't sparkly
