The original Black & White dancer...
The mixer dance gets underway
Girls on the inside... Boys on the outside
Time to dance with a new partner
Quotation To Remember: Do not call any work menial until you have watched a proud person do it. ~Robert Brault
Wyatt keeps everyone on their toes
The band played such wonderful dance music!
New partners every time the band stops playing
Good time to say a short howdy
We all look so elegant in our Black & Whites
It was in the forties outside so no one was in the pool... Or even outside
One more circle
Hands up!
Everybody looks like they have been dancing with their partners for years
Guiding and gliding... an all-in-one step
How can anything that it so good for you be so much fun???
Quotation To Remember: The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot. The guy who invented the other three, he was a genius. ~Sid Caesar
Black and White seems to make us go back in time
Many spend a few extra steps right by the fireplace....
We call that a "Smart move"
Every dance known to man was played
Perhaps a samba?
Glass of coffee for the way home
Black and White bye bye
See you soon
Quotation To Remember: If you do not raise your eyes you will think that you are the highest point. ~Antonio Porchia
Black and White with a white tie... Very classy
Did You Know? - The word white continues Old English hwīt, ultimately from a Common Germanic *χwītaz also reflected in OHG (h)wîz, ON hvítr, Goth. ƕeits.
The root is ultimately from Proto-Indo-European language *kwid-, surviving also in Sanskrit śveta "to be white or bright" and Slavonic světŭ "light".
The Icelandic word for white, hvítur, is directly derived from the Old Norse form of the word hvítr. Common Germanic also had the word *blankaz ("white, bright, blinding"), borrowed into Late Latin as *blancus, which provided the source for Romance words for "white" (Catalan, Occitan and French blanc, Spanish blanco, Italian bianco, Galician-Portuguese branco, etc.). The antonym of white is black.
Another dancer before the long drive home... To Rossmoor (Seal Beach)
Wyatt and crew kept the waltzes coming all night... Yeah!
After ten o'clock it begins to thin out as people have to drive home
Troopers Darlene and Bill keep on going...
Sitting back and watching the dancers is always fun!
Dottie and Bruce floated right by the tables
"Bruce... It's this way!"
We failed at "Stump The Band"... They knew everything
Last people standing.... What a great dance
