My Fred Astaire Family and I tripped the night fantastic
recently at a 1940’s Dance Party at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Hobby
Airport. Taking ballroom dancing lessons is one of the most fun activities on
my cancer journey bucket list, and the East Coast Swing and Cha-Cha are my
favorite dances, so I looked forward to this event with great anticipation. And
I wasn’t disappointed.
At left is a photo of the beautifully restored airport
terminal that was built in 1940.
It was the perfect venue for a night of super-fun
dancing to music provided by the fabulous Third Coast Swing band, shown at
right.
There were more than 150 people attending the event, from
Fred Astaire Studios all over Houston. At left are a few of my dancing buddies:
(left to right) Olga Elsbury, me, Maryanne Tucker, Richard Blachford, Johnny
and Sue Alexander, and Liz Rios.
I danced nearly non-stop for three hours—the most fun-filled
dancing night ever!
It was a magical evening! More dancing to come!
