Dance Party Wallflower

My friend showed me this video that would be embarrassing if it weren't so funny. My Okinawa rock n roll friends gave me their Osaka friend's numbers and those people invited me to a 1950s dance party about two months ago. I am learning to do the twist and some other dances now. This video is taken during the party. Now I am friends with a lot of people because of the lessons, but in this video I only knew 3 people at the whole party.

This is 8 minutes of the dance party. Basically it is 8 minutes of me watching dancers, sometimes standing alone and sometimes chatting with my friends. I don't know how to dance and this was my first time at this kind of party. You'll find me easily in the video because I am the only Caucasian person and I have this weird spotlight shining right on me. Ha.

Oh man, there are more from the same night where I am actually dancing. Still in the corner, but my friend is trying to teach me rhythm.

Anyone who has been me dance knows that I don't know how to dance but that I love dancing.

I just noticed this blog post now-- sure it may be embaressing [although youre not the only one on the sidelines so its not bad]. What made me laugh more was the girl at the bottom of the video at around 4.58 who's looking around as if to say "where am I?!"

Btw your blog is absolutely amazing! It fills that little[aha an understatement] curiosity I have for Japan.
