This is the second post I've seen about dancing in the kitchen, which makes me happy because I too dance in my kitchen. I love dancing in my kitchen! One of my friends said, "I hope you will be happy enough that you don't have to dance alone in your kitchen" and I thought, wow, they totally missed the point.
Sometimes I dance in my kitchen to lift my mood. When I was divorcing my last husband, I did a lot of this. It was a great way to dispel pent up angst. I love the old band Blood Sweat & Tears. In one of their songs, they have a line "when we get the blues, we just put on our shoes, and head down to Dixie." I figure, if you're in the dumps, you might as well make the most of it by...having a party! Even if its just a party of one.
I do have a 73 year old friend who sometimes dances in my kitchen with me. Sometimes I get really super amped up, bouncing off the walls amped. If he is around, he'll just look at me and say, "Baby, I think you better put on some music and dance in the kitchen." It's his way of telling me to mellow out. So dancing works both ways for me, to lift my mood and to mellow me out when I'm bouncing off the walls with way too much energy to contain within the boundaries of my flesh.
