I have the rhythm of a rock, but I love modern dance ...

Let me tell a story...

As an undergrad at William and Mary (Go Tribe!), there was this girl I was interested in (Ok, there were a few girls I was interested in, but this story only pertains to one). She was a dancer and she invited me to come with her to see this modern dance performance, Orchesis. Well, of course, I acted very interested and said yes.

Truth - this sounded very boring to me. But I went, and it wasn't long before I was completely enthralled. I loved it and was totally hooked. In future years, after that relationship didn't work out, I found other people to go with, and one time (don't tell anyone) I even went by myself.

So, why do I tell you this?

I tell you to supplement a piece I have in the What's Up Arlington! e-newsletter about the upcoming Bowen McCauly Dance performance on June 16 at Lubber Run Amphitheatre. When I say I love modern dance, I mean it (by the way, to me, modern dance is anything that isn't the Waltz, so if I'm mis-characterizing here, forgive me)

And speaking of the newsletter, if you're not a subscribing, get a life!
