Rest Room Rumba

So while walking around the farm show in St. Joseph Missouri, I thought a blog about a certain timeless, classic dance was in order. It tends to be a ladies' only dance, one that the male sex of the species could never appreciate.

It begins at a line dance. You move to your position in line, smile politely and nod to the person in front of you to let them know that you recognize your position in this dance, and you begin the first step of the dance - shift from foot to foot.

As the ladies in the line move forward, you bide your time, continuing to shift from foot to foot, demonstrating your anticipation to participate in this honored ritual. As you can, you step forward. Your steps form a pattern - shift shift shift shift forward. shift shift shift shift forward.

Soon you've worked your way forward and you reach the beginning of the line. Now it is time to begin the variation to your dance. Your patience has it's rewards - it is now your time to step forward and enter one of the holy rooms. You approach cautiously, still maintaining your pattern, but in a quickened fashion.

Stop and peer cautiously around the edge of the door and peer into the holy room. Check for any foulness or otherwise unholy material that might foul your experience.

Once you have deemed the room worthy of holding your experiences, enter the room and shut the door behind you, so that it might be a private ritual.

I won't go into the exact process of the ritual. It's a personal experience that must be performed as you feel the urge to do so.

When finished with your ritual, clear it of any unholy materials that may have appeared and exit the room. Move past the line of ladies so that the next lady in line may do her own version of the Rest Room Rumba and have her own personal ritual.
