The Joy of Line Dancing

My school has a tradition. Every year for the past who knows how many years in December we line dance. On transition day back in grade 8 I couldn't believe I would actually have to attend a high school with such a stupid tradition but last year along with almost everyone else I absolutely fell in love with it!! It's such a cool feeling to have 50 people in the gym all doing their own thing and dancing to their own beat but moving at the same time. That satisfying thunk of everyones left foot hitting the ground at the same time, with time to the music is just so wonderful. I loved it last year, and today was the day when we started again this year. We do it in PE, which makes this the one month I will actually enjoy PE out of the entire year. On Wednesday the grade 9s will be in with us and we supposedly have to teach them or something, because it will only be their second day of line dancing ever and I'm not really looking forward to it. But it's okay and they'll learn fast and most of them will pick up the love of it. You laugh when you mess up, and mostly it's just a ton of fun with your friends. May we dance forever!!!
