Learning that 'Miserlou' not only has words but is actually a middle eastern style line dance: Priceless.
Of course, doing the dance to the Dick Dale version seriously risks breaking something (I know, I tried when I got home). It's actually supposed to be HALF that speed, if not slower. I was quite amused that Joanne had actually never seen Pulp Fiction; it's funny how some music trickles into pop culture consciousness and by which routes it does so...
Dance class was good last night, in case you couldn't tell. Besides the above revalation, Joanne brought in a live music group for her classes. I love dancing to live music, the energy is so different. That and for some reason I'm so much less shy about dancing to it than I am about dancing to a recording. I don't know it's weird, I'm weird, k move on. Anyway class pretty much made what was an otherwise fairly crappy day.
