All For Swinging You Around

Theoretically, I should have been sitting in the corner in child’s pose for most of today’s DDPP or weeping exhaustedly in my car. I came to it straight from a 2 day, all day, full body stretch-an-strengthen-a-thon and every fiber in my being was screamin for a break. I was doubtful that there was an ounce of energy left to wring out of my sapped, sorry ass. But DJ Ann Atomic’s tapped into some hidden cache of energy I had no idea even existed and proceeded to yank, pull, cajole, and ssssuck every last iota of movement out of me. Yup. There was nothing left for me to do but DANCE! I got canned heat in my heels tonight (babaaay).

And so did a dozen other Sunday shakers this afternoon! There was some serious dancemanship on Belle Plaine avenue folks. Spontaneous clapping broke out on multiple occasions, pained/writhing air guitar solos ensued on the floor, shadow puppets bopped in the light of the lava projector, tour-jetes and other french-sounding ballet moves were performed with grace and funk and yes - there even was hold-on-for-your-life, full-on spinning, too! (Sorry about my sweaty paws - they’re not great for that particular move). But yes! That was a cooker! Nice work wife of Detholz (aka Ann Atomic aka Jenn Schwarz!) on this mix of mixes that’s left me breathless and now speechless.

In the immortal words of Mel Brooks…May the Schwarz be with you.
