Dance into the night

Ballroom dancing is so amazing.  I work at the Osthoff Resort serving food at banquets and large events.  We get all kinds of people, companies, and organizations coming through our doors.  This weekend, Ballroom dancing was at the center of our focus.  A good number of couples, being mostly in their later years in life, from all over Wisconsin and its surrounding states gathered for dinner and dancing.

            Friday night was the first of the two nights of dancing.  A little more casual, the couples were given the chance to meet everyone and relax in their new surrounding.  Their attire wasn’t completely upscale though very appropriate for the occasion.  Everyone seemed very friendly and all of our servers seemed to feel the same way.  Once dinner was finished, a few drinks polished off, the dancing began. 

Watching these folks moving across the floor was so nice to see.  They truly enjoy life and the company of their lovers.  The style of dancing would switch with each song.  Everything from the Waltz to the Cha Cha was seen across the floor. 

The second night of dancing was more of the finale.  The couples were wearing nice suits and dresses.  It looked like some elegant dancing in a movie from the twenties.  They had a multiple course dinner then, as the night before, began their passionate dancing.  I love to see the older couples that still hold hands as they walk to get coffee or give each other that look of love before kissing.  It was a wonderful evening.

  1. Sound very interesting. I've always wanted to join ballet but then lost interest as I was growing up.
