Dancing in the Car

When I catch someone dancing in the car I think back to Sophomore year of high school. We all had new licences; were borrowing the parents’ car.  Luckily for us, we had one friend who had her own car and had an early b-day for a sophomore.  So the six of us would pile into Heather’s 95′ Taurus with the Awe5ome license plate (we all had seatbelts because of the armrest-sized seat in the front row – which always happened to be reserved for me) and hit the suburban streets.  We came up with red light dance party that year – it’s pretty straight forward. We hit a red light, roll down all the windows, crank up the music and dance as much as we could strapped into a seat belt – to the point that the car was afflicted with its own earthquake.  

Besides the fact that we had a great time dancing to Spice girls and Miss Spears, we got some great reactions from the people around us. We had people laugh and roll down their windows, cars next to us with commuters heading home from a long day would start cracking up. We got nice little compliments from the older folk. Bottom line more people should dance in their cars (be safe about it though) because you feel good and so do the people around you. It really is one of the quickest ways to get someone out of the dumps.  I am pretty sure there isn’t a person out there that if they caught someone dancing hardcore in their car could not crack a smile. Dance people dance! I always love catching people dancing… like you are catching someone in the middle of a forbidden act… but what’s so wrong about it?    You might learn a few moves too.
