Elves can dance?!
« on: December 12, 2003, 02:17:47 PM »
Last night I went with Mike to see the Philadelphia philharmonic orchestra, a christmas type concert. About half way through the program, they started playing selections from the Nutcracker. These 2 short people dressed as elves were running around the auditorium clumsily trying to imitate the Chinese and Russian dances. Then the orchestra started playing the waltz of the flowers. The little man comes up to me, pulls me out of my seat up to the front, and starts waltzing with me in front of thousands of people!! In case you don't know me, I can't dance. I'm terrible. At least I kinda knew what he was doing since I had to learn to waltz for a school musical I was in a couple years ago, but I'm sure I looked hilariously terrible. Too bad no one recorded it, lol. I think thats my most interesting christmas experience this year...doesn't beat Wong's tree though!

Haha, I wish I could have seen that! Then again I'm just glad it wasn't me, because I'm a terrible dancer and I've had no waltzing experience period. All I can say is "Go elves, go!"

That is all I have to say about that. I think it is hilarious.

Mike man, you gonna let your girl be snatched by some little elf while YOU take her out for the night.  Boy if it were me I'd smack that little thing upside the head so hard, he'd think he was dancing the whole night threw.  
Elves, just cuz they have cool pointy ears think they can do whatever they want!

What you do is, when you're dancing with him, dance in 4/4 time.  That'll mess him up.  Just ignore the waltz music and think of just about any popular tune with the same tempo.  

(For those of you who don't know, Waltzes are in 3/4 time.)

Wow, it was hard enough for me just to try and dance in the same time as the elf. I don't think I'd be talented enough to attempt something like that, lol.
