Arnaud, Arvind and I spent the better part of today ‘renovating’ Jane’s upstairs office – using curtains to create ‘closets’ for storing copies of her book when it arrives on one side, and ironing and sewing projects on the other.The three of us went to a World Dance event thing in town tonight – Donna organizes it monthly, and Arvind had been promising her he’d go, so we all went. Arnaud needed a lot of convincing – in fact, we practically had to drag him along. Anyway, Donna rents out a hall, sets up kind lighting, and makes a ‘wave’ playlist – different kinds of music with each track leading into the next, and the highest energy music at the middle. The idea is that anyone can come and dance in a ‘safe place’ – no audience, no pressure, no technique.
I’m not a dancer. I was a little scared to go, but actually had a good time. It probably helped that we were all a little punch-drunk from working all day, so we had a hilarious ride down to town in Arvind’s convertible, top down and blaring bhangra music on the top volume setting, with Arnaud grabbing the wheel whenever Arvind’s dancing started interfering with driving.
