I Want to Dance With Somebody

Over the next month, as we gear up for our 5 year blog-versey, I'm going to share things that I am going to do to make my life better.
I've been a dancer my whole life. Before I was born, I was doing in utero high kicks that caused my mother to have a kidney infection. I did ballet, jazz and tap. I was on the dance squad in school. I continued to take dance classes up through my 30th birthday. I still be bop around the house, especially when I'm cleaning or have that rare moment alone.
I tried tribal dance last year and enjoyed it, but was sore for days afterwards.
I try to share that unmitigated joy with my son. We've done ceili dance and swing dance when he was younger. Now he's too cool for it, and I apparently embarrass him when I spontaneously boogie down.
Sometimes, you just want someone to twirl you around the kitchen as you do dishes. Sometimes you just want to dance with somebody.
